Woodham High School

Woodham High School was a secondary school located in Pensacola, Florida. The high school was closed after nearly 42 years of operation in May 2007. It is now known as Woodham Middle School. Woodham Middle School is now closed and West Florida High School of Advanced Technology and its faculty, staff, and students have transferred over from Longleaf Drive to the old school grounds of Woodham Middle School and is now located there. The school is named for Dr. William Jesse Woodham, Jr., a former Escambia County School District superintendent. Woodham High School was the only high school in Escambia County to have a Law Academy, as well as to have a Future Educators Academy. In addition, Woodham also sported a Health Science Program. History Woodham High School was opened in 1965, in response to the tremendous growth of Pensacola's northern suburbs. This move took the pressure off of Pensacola High School, which at the time was suffering from severe overcrowding.
