History

Woodland High School

Woodland High School opened in September 1982 as the result of the merger of Briarwood High School and Headland High School. Headland's campus became Paul D. West Middle School, which then fed into Woodland High. At the time, Fulton was slowly introducing the middle school concept countywide. The school closed with the 1988 merge. Woodland has since become Woodland Middle School. The original building was demolished for the current middle school prototype.^[6] As of June 2024, the site is under construction of the Conley Hills "replacement" elementary school.
