History

In 2005 the district purchased a plot of land to build a new high school.{{cite news|last=Summers|first=Leila|title=Woodland School District will lease land for farming|newspaper=Longview Daily News|place=Longview, Washington|date=2008-12-22|page=A3}} - [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/78690325/for-woodland-high-school-on-land-purcha/ Clipping] from Newspapers.com. In 2007 the district received public comments recommending that it build a new high school building funded by a bond, with the expected amount of the bond being $50 million.{{cite news|title=Woodland set to tackle school bond|newspaper=Longview Daily News|place=Longview, Washington|date=2007-10-07|page=B1}} - [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/78689706/for-woodland-high-school-washington/ Clipping of first page] and [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/78690041/for-woodland-high-school-article-second/ second page (B2)] from Newspapers.com. In January 2008 voters were offered a vote on the bond but they rejected it, so the district at the time proposed leasing the land for farmers.

On August 31, 2015 Woodland High School moved from 757 Park Street ({{coord|45.9042|-122.7483}}) to its newly constructed current location at 1500 Dike Access Road ({{coord|45.9295|-122.7644}}).

In 2020 Phillip Pearson became the principal.{{cite web|url=https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/local_news/woodland-public-schools-selects-dr-phillip-pearson-as-new-high-school-principal/|title=Woodland Public Schools selects Dr. Phillip Pearson as new high school principal|newspaper=Clark County Today|date=2020-04-07|access-date=2021-05-31}}
