of Woods Graduates return to campus to say THANK YOU to their teachers

We are grateful for the support that The Woods community provided after graduation. By attending The Woods Academy, we all realized the enormous benefits of attending a smaller school (which influenced where our son wanted to attend college). The Woods Academy also provided the foundation that has led to more incredible things. We would have never imagined that he would have been selected for numerous collegiate merit scholarships, served in national and statewide leadership roles, received state and national service awards, and secured three competitive Computer Science internships.
