My last update on the construction of the new Woodward High School on Old Georgetown Road was back in February, so it is time for another one. To Recap, in Spring of 2021, the old Woodward High School / Tilden Middle School was torn down. A new Woodward High School is being built in the same location. When the first phase is complete, it will be used as a holding school for two years while Northwood High School is rebuilt. Originally, Northwood was supposed to move here for the 2023-2024 school year (as in now), but that was delayed by one year due to fiscal constraints. Now Northwood will use this school for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years and it will re-open as Woodward H.S. for the 2026-2027 school year. The budget for this project is 196 million dollars. Full details are in the budget.
I actually like the yellow-and-orange-with-green-lines motif, it's different and fresh. They are covering it up with bricks though.
There is also some information about the planning for the school on the MCPS Charles W. Woodward High School Reopening Project page. I find these project pages get some updates early in the process then nothing until the project is complete, so information there is out-of-date. You can find all my posts on Woodward H.S. here.
