Woodlawn High School (East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana)

Woodlawn High School (commonly Woodlawn or WHS) is a public high school in Old Jefferson, a census-designated place in unincorporated East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, United States, in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area.

It serves the southeast Baton Rouge area's public school needs for grades 9–12 and its 2006 enrollment was 1095 students.

Woodlawn even boasts an indoor firing range for marksmanship practice with .177 caliber air rifles.

[13] In 1996 the band and choir halls as well as the auditorium were condemned and classes were no longer permitted to take place in them as a result of structural movement.

Due largely in part to its age and location on the fault line and consequently as a result of the dilapidated buildings and approval by the tax payers, a new Woodlawn High School was constructed a few short miles away on a 57-acre (230,000 m2) site.

The following is an abbreviated list: Woodlawn competes in Louisiana High School Athletics Association's (LHSAA) District 4 Class 5A.

The school competes in Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Powerlifting, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track and Field, and Volleyball.

The 2002–2003 boys basketball team garnered national attention after winning back-to-back state championships.

Coach Kenny Almond led the team to a #2 ranking in USA Today's national high school poll.
