Who Will Attend Woodward
In Spring 2026, the Board of Education approved a coordinated package of boundary and program changes, including Woodward's reopening, an expansion of Northwood High School, the relocation of Thomas S. Wootton High School to the Crown Farm site, an expansion of Damascus High School, and a new regional program model. The changes are meant to balance enrollment, make fuller use of building capacity, and give students more consistent access to programs closer to home. They take effect with Woodward's opening in fall 2027.
Beginning with students entering 9th or 10th grade in fall 2027, and continuing each year after, students will reach Woodward through these elementary-to-middle school pathways:
| Elementary School | Middle School |
