“Our entire Panther Nation is proud to celebrate these students’ outstanding academic achievements. Their hard work and dedication sets an example for everyone at Woodlawn High School and especially those in in Woodlawn’s AP program,” said Principal Scott Stevens. “It is also a testament to the strength of our academic program and our dedicated teachers.”
Woodlawn students can choose from 19 Advanced Placement courses, starting in their freshman year. Woodlawn is the recipient of a National Math and Science Initiative grant to support AP courses in STEM fields.
The College Board’s AP Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. Although there is no monetary award, each award-winning student receives a certificate, and the award is acknowledged on any AP score report that is sent to college after the award has been given.

Woodlawn High School’s Robotics Team, Panthrobotics, hosted it’s fourth annual FIRST Lego League Qualifier in the high school gym on Saturday, November 12, 2016. Students from thirteen elementary and middle schools competed for the chance to attend the State Championship in New Orleans on December 10th. Panthrobotics members volunteered as judges, referees, game-announcers, and in a variety of other positions to help run this great event.
Students who participated were judged on their ability to design and program a Lego Robot, engage in a research project, and demonstrate the Core Values of the FIRST Lego League Program. They then competed with their robot against the other teams in a best of three tournament. In the end, The Exploding Bluejays from Oak Grove Primary School won both the Robot Performance award as well as the coveted Champions Award for their commitment to excellence in all areas of the challenge.
Congratulations to all teams that participated and good luck at the State Championship!
