AlWood High School

AlWood High School, or AHS, is a public four-year high school located at 301 E. Fifth Avenue in Woodhull, Illinois, a village in Clover Township of Henry County, Illinois, in the Midwestern United States.

The name AlWood comes from the combination of Alpha and Woodhull, two villages in southwestern Henry County which each had their own high schools until a consolidation in 1948.

The school is near the Quad Cities and is part of the Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL metropolitan statistical area.

[5] In 2009, the AlWood Middle-High School faculty was 47 teachers, averaging 18.3 years of experience, and of whom 35% held an advanced degree.

In 1998, AlWood's first golf team was formed by the then athletic director, Steve Lemon.

Cooperative athletics partnerships with neighboring high schools are common in recent years due, in large part, to Alwood High School's enrollment of less than 200 students.

However, the Alpha teams were sometimes referred to as the "Miners" because of the coal mines which once existed around the area.
