Charles W. Woodward High School is a former high school in North Bethesda, Maryland, near Rockville.[1]
History
Charles W. Woodward High School opened in 1966. The school was named by the Montgomery County Board of Education for Judge Charles W. Woodward, Sr. (1895–1969), who served as Associate Judge and later as Chief Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Maryland from 1932 to 1955.[2]
In 1987, Woodward and Walter Johnson High School[2] were seeing reduced enrollment, so the county merged them into Walter Johnson, a larger building. Woodward's PTA supported closing the school.
The Woodward building was briefly used as swing space while Springbrook High School was being renovated.
The building was used to house Tilden Middle School during its renovation, starting in summer 2020.[2][3]
Planned reopening
MCPS Superintendent Jack Smith's 2020 Capital Budget includes money to reopen Woodward High School in 2022. The budget has options for Woodward to function for two school years, starting in September 2023, as a holding school while Northwood High School is expanded, or instead implement a phased construction for Northwood, allowing Woodward to reopen as its own school.[4][5] Demolition of the old building began in February 2021.[3]
In 2018, then-County Council President Hans Riemer and then-Montgomery County first lady Catherine Leggett led an effort to rename Charles W. Woodward High School after Rev. Josiah Henson, who inspired the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, when the school reopens in 2025 [11].[2] About Шаблон:Convert north from the Woodward site is a county park and museum named for Henson.
