We're a diverse community of students and teachers who show up every morning motivated to learn and to experience new opportunities — in the classroom, on our 61-acre campus, and out in the community. Our curriculum is tough, but our students eagerly embrace the academic rigor. The result? More than just high test scores and remarkable college placements — we are all independent, lifelong learners who enjoy being part of a nurturing campus family.
Now if our students would just learn to go home at the end of the day.
What's going on inside (and out of) the classroom.

My name is Arianna Hoshino, and I am a senior at Woodlawn. I came to Woodlawn in 7th grade, worried about losing all my friends and the familiarity that came with my old school, but I immediately felt at home. The teachers focused on me as an individual and the students were welcoming and inclusive. At Woodlawn I’ve learned how to support myself. I know what my strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes are, and where I want to go and what I want to do after I leave this beautiful campus and venture out into the daunting “real world.” Woodlawn has shown me how to replace the fear with excitement!
Hello, I’m Michael Muchane, a 2015 grad of Woodlawn. I have been at Woodlawn since the 6th grade, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions of my life. One of the lines of Woodlawn’s Alma Mater says “every student shines”, and what makes that possible is the vast array of opportunities that are available here at Woodlawn. Even though we don’t have a school orchestra, I have performed on the piano quite a few times for students and parents. A good example is “Grand Friends” day, which is a relatively new tradition here at Woodlawn - this provides an audience of over 300 people for both instrumental and vocal performances.
Hello, my name is Reilly Milburn, and I am a 2015 grade of Woodlawn. I look forward to the new opportunities I will experience in college. However, none of them would be possible without the many great experiences I’ve had at Woodlawn. From the close ties with my peers and teachers, to the ability to find my passions in work and life, Woodlawn has played a crucial role in shaping my identity. While I know that college will be different from my high school years, I am not worried. I know that Woodlawn has prepared me socially and academically for my future.

Hello, my name is Tracy Hoskins, and I am the first grade teacher. I have been at Woodlawn School since 2010. I have enjoyed everything about Woodlawn and I am proud to be part of such a positive learning environment! The learning that goes on inside as well as outside of the classroom is unique in many ways. Students are encouraged to think deeply and be creative. They are challenged to find the best in themselves and work cooperatively with others. Teachers, students, and parents are partners in education.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me enjoying a bike ride with my favorite guy in the world, Tanner, my little dog. I carry him in a doggie backpack while I ride. We are quite a sight! I love to go to movies with my friends and I'm obsessed with the television show Cops. My favorite place in the world is WV. I grew up in the northern part of the state and love to return home when I can. The top thing on my bucket list is a visit to Belgium, the Land of Chocolate. I have lots of patience and love which is a good thing to have when you teach 1st graders, and the thing people probably don't know about me is that I take a nap every day after school. Being a teacher is a gift. Being able to share my gift at Woodlawn School makes me grateful each day.
