As a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in East Dallas, I’m always excited when I hear great news about the school.
This latest news has amazing implications for future graduates of Woodrow – the school is in the final stages of creating an International Baccalaureate program that will give students who complete the program up to 24 hours of college credit (and an amazing education, to boot). And Woodrow is the first school in DISD to receive this honor.
The IB classes will be taught in a 40,000 square foot addition behind the existing, historic main building of the school. Freshman have already begun prep classes for the IB classes that will be offered their junior and senior years (when the entire program is officially finalized after an IBO visit this fall).
Woodrow, most commonly recognized for its outstanding musicals and theater arts programs, may soon be touted for outstanding college prep as well. I’m excited about it, and you can bet that other East Dallas residents are too, as property values are bound to increase as Woodrow’s academic reputation grows.
