Over the years, its boundaries have changed and its population has become highly diversified, but its sense of community has remained the same. The Woodlawn faculty and staff members are committed to empowering individuals, through the development of academic and social skills, to become responsible citizens in a changing world. We believe that all children have the potential to succeed academically and that the development of a positive self-concept is critical to their success. We are committed to helping every student prepare for a successful future in the 21st century. For this reason, students must be challenged by high expectations and a wide variety of learning opportunities and helped to develop positive self- images in a safe, comfortable atmosphere that encourages community support and involvement.
