In honor of their 50th anniversary, we were thrilled to work with H.D. Woodson High School! By partnering with Amber Owens and injecting our lessons in her new course, Freshman Legacy, Learning, and Leadership, we engaged the entire freshman class around the history of their school (2023 – 2024). H.D. Woodson alumni, teachers, staff, and school leadership were active partners as we uncovered Woodson’s robust school story.

Now completed, The Story of H.D. Woodson High School is installed on the school’s mezzanine level outside their auditorium. This exhibit honors the history of the school as well as generations of students, teachers, and Deanwood community members who shaped its story. Exhibit visitors will experience the strong relationship between H.D. Woodson and the surrounding community and learn about the traditions that defined student life for decades. In partnership with the school and alumni association, we hosted an exhibit reveal event in October 2025.
