Beginning with the freshman class of 2010, Woodrow Wilson High School has implemented four academies from which students may choose as their primary area of academic focus:

• Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
• Academy of Business, Finance & Entrepreneurship
• Academy of Performing Arts
• International Baccalaureate (IB) Program Academy

The students in these academies will gain knowledge and skills specific to their post-secondary education and in the world of work, while still benefiting from the activities and programs offered within a comprehensive high school setting.

Woodrow is dedicated to being internationally minded. This means we strive toward: 

• An understanding and celebration of the value of diversity, in all its forms 


• Empathy for those who are different, while retaining pride in one’s own identity


• Open-minded inquiry accompanied by critical thinking about what is discovered via that inquiry


• A belief in the value of pluralism


• Adaptability, or comfort with and the capacity to cope with rapid change


• An understanding of the need for balancing interdependence with independence


• An understanding that individuals can improve the state of the world, and an accompanying acceptance of the responsibility to take action to do so.

The Texas ACT Council presented Woodrow Wilson High School with the 2009 College Readiness Award in recognition of having a significant increase in its ACT Composite score of the past five years while increasing the number of students taking the ACT Assessment. This award is given to less than 5% of all Texas high schools.

Our students continue to be honored for their academic achievements in many areas including, academic UIL competitions and Academic Decathlons.

Our extracurricular programs allow students to participate in full-scale Broadway-style musicals, an award-winning show choir, competitive Mock Trial team, Debate team and many more clubs and programs.

Woodrow Wilson H.S. is the only U.S. high school to be the alma mater of two Heisman Trophy winners: Davey O'Brien and Tim Brown. The Wildcats tradition of athletic excellence continues today.
