WOODROW WILSON HALL OF FAME

Dallas’ dramatic growth in the early twentieth century had created a need for more schools so in 1924 seven acres of land was purchased for $21,000 by the Dallas Board of Education from the heirs of the W.G. Randall estate and shortly thereof the architects of Roscoe P. DeWitt and Mark Lemmon began planning for the school. Woodrow Wilson High School (named after the 28th President of the United States 1913-1921) opened its doors for the first time on September 14, 1928 during a grand opening that was heralded the next day in The Dallas Morning News as a great success; the article read: “Dallas’ newest and finest school building—perhaps the finest in Texas—the Woodrow Wilson High School, was inspected by about 5,000 persons at a housewarming which opened the institution…. Hundreds of automobiles were parked about the structure, which, fully equipped, cost about $7,000,000, and the campus and corridors of the building swarmed with admiring people…. Although the skies were threatening, with light flashing repeatedly, a great part of the crowd seemed in no hurry to get home until thoroughly inspecting the structure…. With light flooding from its multitude of windows, the three-story huge building presented a rare spectacle from afar.”

Woodrow (as the school is called) was completed during a period of tremendous prosperity in Dallas and in the nation. The “Roaring Twenties” had ushered in a decade of style and extravagance that was unprecedented in the United States. Within Woodrow’s first year of operation, this would suddenly change, when the stock market collapsed in late 1929. For this reason, Woodrow’s classic architecture represents the end of an era that would not be duplicated again in Dallas schools. In fact, it would be almost two decades before another high school was built in Dallas.

Woodrow is on both the register of Dallas Historical Landmarks and in 1989 it was recorded as a “Texas Historic Landmark” by the State Historical Commission. The Texas bronze plaque that can be found on the front of the school building reads: “Built in 1927-28 to serve the growing population in East Dallas, this was the seventh high school in the city. An important example of the period revivals which characterized architecture of the 1920s, this structure reflects the Jacobean Revival style. Outstanding features include prominent entry bays and stone detailing. Many of the school’s graduates have enjoyed successful careers in business, politics, science, sports, and the arts.”

In 1953, after years of boys and girls sharing one gym in the original building, Woodrow’s first major addition to the school was completed with the addition of a separate boy’s gym, locker area, and offices on the northeast side of the school. A new boy's gym is part of the 2019 fourth addition.

In 1971, air conditioning was added to the whole school that resulted in a minor addition to the rear of the school next to the boy’s gym and modifications to the school’s central plant, located in the basement.

In 1979, just in time for the school’s 50th anniversary, a second addition of a single story wing was added that connected the 1953 boy’s gym and looped around to the southeast side of the original building thereby connecting all areas of the school. This addition had a cost of just over $1,000,000 and included a new choir hall, band hall, drama classroom, wood and metal shops, and other rooms. It also created a center courtyard that today is classified as the “Senior Courtyard”.

In 2013, the third addition saw a new wing constructed to ease the rapid growth of student enrollment due to the success in attracting families to stay in the neighborhood public school system and to accommodate the school’s redesign into college prep academies and the new International Baccalaureate program. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new science/ performing arts wing at Woodrow was held on May 23, 2011. Construction was completed in January 2013 for $14 million and added 40,000-square-foot with three stories. The wing features two-story separate choir and drama rooms. The choir room has practice rooms and the drama room features “black-box” theater, a costume shop and prop facilities. A large dance rehearsal hall is on the first floor and houses the Woodrow Dance Theater. Three large science labs are on the third floor, along with new restroom facilities. The building replaced part of the 1979 wing that included the former wood and metal shop; no longer needed with the school’s new college-prep curriculum. The rest of that addition was remodeled at the time into a larger band hall and athletic facilities, including a new varsity locker room and extensive weight training facility; both would be replaced by the 2019 fourth addition.

Also included in 2013 were some much-needed restoration to the original historical building. Woodrow’s main 1928 building had its original windows restored and HVAC replaced, including new air exchangers in the auditorium courtyards. The front first-floor hallway ceiling was restored to its original height and light fixtures similar to the originals were installed. Outdoor ornamental lanterns and porch fixtures originally fashioned by Potter Metal Art in 1927 and 1928 were restored by the same company at a cost of $100,000. The first-floor restrooms were restored to historic marble and wood and the second and third level facilities were gutted and replaced with modern fixtures. Electrical fixtures and computer lines throughout the campus were brought up to current standards. Drainage and landscaping were included in the construction, along with resurfacing of the parking lots and the Davey O’Brien-Tim Brown Track. The cafeteria, which still sits on the third floor, received its first complete remodel since it opened in 1928. New additions included food stations that offer healthier choices and quicker transactions, a spot for students to purchase food and leave the cafeteria quickly, all new tables, chairs, counter seating, and booths. There is a new color scheme and graphics detailing the history of the school. Wildcat logos and the traditional “Keep Thy Heart” school shield are featured. When the cafeteria originally opened in 1928, The Dallas Morning News boasted that it was “the largest eating place in Dallas.” Built with Roaring 20s money, the lunchroom featured multiple skylights, fans, Italian terrazzo floors, white ceramic tile and Thorne bentwood chairs. It was the first school in Dallas to have a cafeteria on the top (third) floor. Prior buildings had the facilities located in the basement. A freight elevator was included, another “first,” which later provided endless fascination for students and started the tradition of selling freshmen false “elevator tickets.” The cafeteria renovation was paid for by DISD food services, and is beyond the $14 million renovation and Science/Performing Arts wing, both funded by 2008 bond money.

Randall Park, not officially a part of Woodrow but has been a part of the life of the school since the park’s 1922 establishment, got a multi-million-dollar face-lift not too many years ago. Improvements at Randall Park included new facilities for baseball, soccer, and softball, as well as a new plaza, shade sitting structure, concession stand, restrooms, parking, and a new ornamental Randall Park gate that complements Woodrow’s architecture. Both Wildcat Baseball and Softball play their home games at the park. Next to the park and school, the nearby Santa Fe railroad tracks were removed and converted to the Santa Fe Trail those extents from White Rock Lake to Deep Ellum/Downtown Dallas. The Santa Fe Trail and Randall Park are wonderful assets to both the students, families, and the community.

Currently, we see the school add its fourth major addition. Costing over $20 million, improvements add nearly 50,000 square feet in classroom and gym space which brings the schools total square footage to about 248,053! With the official DISD ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 26, 2019, it includes a dozen classrooms, new locker rooms, a weight room, and a competition-size gymnasium. The gym with its retractable bleachers will allow a variety of sporting events, including Woodrow, to host home basketball games. The added rooms include traditional classrooms, science and engineering labs for the growing robotics program, art and ceramics studios and a new band/orchestra hall.

While the school may have a historical designation, its curriculum and academic success has kept up with the modern era. By 2008, DISD administrators began talking about “redesigning” all DISD high schools to achieve better academic outcomes. Rather than wait for DISD to implement a plan, the Woodrow Community embraced its own plan. The basic concept of Woodrow’s redesign plan was to restructure the school’s existing programs and add new programs necessary for Woodrow to be able to offer its students district college-preparatory academies that would be more college and career-oriented than the traditional high school model. In March 2011 Woodrow was able to achieve this plan when it became the first IB public school in Dallas. From that plan came what is today the four academies of: (1) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), (2) Business and Industry, (3) Arts and Humanities, and (4) International Baccalaureate (IB). The students in these academies gain knowledge and skills specific to their post-secondary education and in the world of work, all while still benefiting from the activities and programs offered within a diverse comprehensive high school setting.
