Northwood High School was originally built in 1956, with additions completed in 1958, 1964, and 1974. The school was closed in 1985, and the building was reopened in 1989 as a holding facility. Due to the increasing student enrollment in the Downcounty Consortium, Northwood High School was reopened in 2004.
As part of the recommended FY 2025–2030 Capital Improvements Program (CIP), the completion date for the Northwood High School project is delayed one year due to an extension of the construction timeline. As a result of Northwood High School remaining at Charles W. Woodward High School, its holding facility, for one additional year, the recommended completion date for the reopening of Charles W. Woodward High School is August 2027. A recommendation to adjust the timeline of the approved boundary study to align with the opening of Charles W. Woodward High School will be presented as part of the Board of Education’s work sessions on the FY 2025-2030 CIP.
