The school has seen two major improvement projects, based on funding from Measure V passed in 2003, improving physical education facilities and adding the science wing, and Measure A passed in 2014, which finally gave Will C. Wood their own stadium.

At that time it was planned to be Vacaville's second comprehensive high school.

From 1969 to 1973 Will C. Wood was a satellite campus for Vacaville High School.

In the fall of 1974, Wood became a junior high school (grades 7 - 9) servicing the south side of Vacaville while Willis Jepson Junior High School serviced the north side of Vacaville.

A new gymnasium, locker room, classroom wing, office complex, cafeteria, and theater were added.
