School history and overview
Woodstock's first public high school opened January 16, 1854. This opening was less than a year after the town, at its annual meeting, had voted to build the school. The land, purchased in April of 1853, was on a knoll below Linden Hill. The current high school, built in 1957, sits on approximately 40 acres of land along the Ottauquechee River just west of the village of West Woodstock on VT Route 4. The union brought together students from Woodstock, Bridgewater, Pomfret, Barnard, Reading and Sherburne, as well as tuition-paying students from Hartland, Plymouth and other surrounding towns.
