History
The Woodlands School was opened in the year 1969. While the first phase of its present building was under construction, classes operated within Springfield Public School building. In September 1970, the students and staff moved to the new building, and The Woodlands became a combined elementary and secondary school.
The facility received a major renovation throughout 2016.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This renovation implemented a new open concept design to the front of the school, and also removed the old library building attached to the school, replacing it with a new elementary classroom wing.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> An elevator was later built near the front of the school.
