History
The Woodward School was founded by Dr. Ebenezer Woodward, a prominent physician and cousin of John Adams. When Woodward died in 1869, his will established a trust fund to create and maintain a girls' school equivalent to the boys-only Adams Academy. The town of Quincy (which became a city in 1888) was named trustee of the fund, and was given 25 years to build the school. Management of the school was allocated in perpetuity to the town's selectmen. The school building was designed by E. G. Thayer in the Queen Anne style, with clapboard siding and a slate roof. It was built by Stephen Loxon and completed in 1894, just short of the 25-year deadline. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Woodward Institute on November 13, 1989, reference number 89001954.
Extracurriculars and Sports
The School has three varsity sports teams: Basketball, Soccer and Softball, which have all consistently placed well in leagues, championships and tournaments.
Student-run clubs include Art National Honor Society, Drama Club, Greenleaf Arts & Literary Magazine, Student Ambassadors, Student Council and Robotics
