“Committed to Excellence” was the theme for Woodruff High School during 2020-2021 school year. Hard work, commitment, involvement, and communication are essential to maintaining the level of excellence established by years of outstanding Woodruff High School alumni. The students and faculty of Woodruff High are continually blessed by a generous community that supports academic rigor, co-curricular excellence, and facilities that are second to none. The senior class received a cumulative total of $3,400,855 in scholarships. Over seventy-five percent of the class received some scholarship award. Ninety-two seniors received LIFE Scholarships and ten seniors were named Palmetto Fellows. Additionally, three seniors received the prestigious South Carolina Academic Award.
In addition to an excellent academic year, Woodruff High School had another outstanding year in the visual and performing arts. Nine seniors collectively won twenty-three Southern Scholastic Awards-Gold Keys, Silver Keys and Honorable Mentions. During the last marching season, the WHS marching band, placed ninth in state competition and seventh in the upper state competition.
Success was also achieved in the athletic venue. WHS produced twenty-eight scholar athletes. Five teams was crowned region champion and three were runners-up. Twenty-two students were named All-Region athletes. Woodruff High School had eight All-State athletes and reached the playoffs in ten sports. Moreover, five Woodruff High School athletes were selected to a state All-Star team.
During the 2020-2021 school year, Woodruff High School continued to emphasize self-discipline, student involvement, communication, and caring attitudes. Throughout the school year, the traditions of WHS remained steadfast because of the involvement and commitment of the community, the students, and the staff.
Our goal in the 2021-2022 school year is to uphold the Woodruff High School tradition of leading the state of South Carolina in academic achievement, athletic accomplishments and artistic endeavors.
