I am sure that some people may have questions pertaining to why a student of a high school would be so willing to complete a full history of anything, never mind the high school that she attended. My goal on this page is to explain just why I have undertaken this giant project, and what my hopes for it would be in the future. 

​

My main goal was to create a website that chronicles every major change and event that has happened in Woodsville High's existence. Of course, with an institution that was formed in 1896, I would never be able to tell every single story that my school has to share, but I was able to point out some of the highlights that help make this school great. My hope is that this website can be used to lure people to the area, or inspire them to decide that Woodsville is the type of institution that needs to be protected. The ever-looming budget cuts that my beloved school is facing are what inspired me to kick my project into gear, for I know that the best way to help is by doing something that I am already passionate about. Perhaps hearing tales of a grand school will lure new families to the area, helping not only the high school, but the town as a whole. I fear that losing the high school would be losing the most critical, influential part of Woodsville. Little towns across the United States are all centered around and influenced by their high schools; Woodsville, New Hampshire is no different. 

 

So, dear reader, thank you. Thank you for spending the time to learn about my school, and for making it this far into the website (I sincerely hope that I have been entertaining thus far). This is how I plan on giving back to Woodsville High: by telling her story, and spreading it as far as I can. Maybe, just maybe, then I will be able to preserve some of the proud history and integrity that make this old gal what she is: a great place to go to school.

​

Thank you, once again,
