Woodside High School Class of 2015


Congratulations! 
Today is your day. 
You're off to Great Places! 
You're off and away! 

You have brains in your head. 
You have feet in your shoes 
You can steer yourself 
any direction you choose. 
You're on your own. And you know what you know. 
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. 



On Friday, June 5 Woodside High School staff, parents, fellow students, and community members came together to celebrate the Class of 2015. 

And there was so much to celebrate! 93% (311) of the class will pursue a college education in a variety of public and private colleges and universities.
