H.D. Woodson High School

H.D. Woodson High School, Public high school in Northeast Boundary, Washington, United States

H.D. Woodson High School is a public secondary school in Northeast Washington, housed in a multi-story building that serves students in grades 9 through 12. The building contains classrooms, a swimming pool, and areas set aside for vocational training.

Named for engineer and civic leader Howard Dilworth Woodson, the school opened on September 13, 1972, at 55th and Eads Streets NE as a seven-floor tower with a rooftop greenhouse, 82 classrooms, an Olympic-sized pool and a 200-space parking lot. Students chose the nickname "the tower of power." The original building was demolished in 2009 and replaced by a three-story facility in 2011.

The school honors Howard Dilworth Woodson (1877–1962), a University of Pittsburgh graduate and structural engineer who testified before congressional committees for D.C. oversight and pressed for a high school in Deanwood. Students chose the nickname "the tower of power" in a contest, and the colors red, black and green stand for the blood, skin and land of black people.

The school sits in a residential area of Northeast Washington and can be reached by public transit. Since it is an active school, any visit should be arranged in advance, and arriving outside school hours makes access easier.

The school has its own swimming pool, which is rare for a public school in Washington, and the swim team known as the Warrior Sharks trains there regularly. Despite limited resources, the team has built a reputation for holding its own in competition.
