Our School The Woodward schools were organized by a progressive citizenship which recognized that education is a fundamental principle to foster a wholesome community life, and have rapidly grown from a typical frontier stage to the present well-organized city system. Three hundred high school students and eight hundred thirty grade pupils are availing themselves of the educational advantages of our city schools and are directed by a faculty of thirty-three teachers twelve in the high school and twenty in the grades. Woodward City High School is a member of the North Central Association and is accredited in thirty-nine and one-half units. The Woodward system recognizes that the schools are for the children and that the schools must provide so far as the equipment will permit—for the individual needs of each child, and further that a system adequately equipped and sufficiently flexible in organization to adjust work to the individual needs of a pupil should produce an efficient citizenship. At the heart of our educational scheme stands the teacher. If buildings and equipment are to function well in training “Young America.” they must be directed by patriotic, well-trained, conscientious, capable teachers. No stinted educational policy can attain the coveted goal—an efficient citizenship. Woodward is fortunate. Her citizenship, the various civic organizations, the Board of Education, all demand the best for the community, and it is the fostering of such an ideal in education that has caused the splendid growth and development of Woodward and her city schools.
