Where It All Began...

Opening In 1967, Wooddale High School began as a learning institution for grades seven through ten, and a grade was added each year until the completion of the facility that exists today. For 44 years, the school has served as a place where students from the communities of Hickory Hill, Fox Meadows, Parkway Village, Bethel Grove, and other communities gather daily to learn, grow, and develop meaningful friendships. Wooddale is a valued part of its community, and with each graduating class, another momentous contribution is made to the world.

From entertainers and athletes to educators and entrepreneurs, a number of gied individuals have graced the halls of Wooddale High throughout its 44-year history. To capture the essence of the “Wooddale Experience” is truly an honor for all who have been blessed with the opportunity. Within these hallowed halls, gied young men and women were given the freedom to express, to create, and to ultimately become productive citizens in a thriving society.

We were fortunate to be guided by dedicated teachers who reached deep into the minds of their students to reveal the distinction, potential, and outstanding character that lay deep within them. e Class of 1991 remains grateful to those who have helped to shape our lives and mold us for success.

Message From the Class President

Friday, June 17, 2011

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.”

-Jim Rohn

Can you believe it has been twenty years? Twenty years of laughing, crying, and embracing. It warms my heart to fellowship with my classmates and their families. It saddens my heart as we remember our six sisters and brothers who have passed away. However, I know their spirit will be with us as we celebrate this great occasion.

I would like to thank our parents for teaching us the importance of fellowship. I would also like to thank the teachers and staff at Wooddale High School for reiterating our parents’ teachings. We would like to recognize our extended family members – the classes of ’89, ’90, ’92, and ’93. To the spouses and children of Wooddale Class of 1991, I would like to say “Welcome to the Family!” To all of the classmates who made this reunion and our ten-year reunion a success, words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude, appreciation, and thanks for all the time and energy you devoted to the cause.

Last but not least, to the best class in the world - Wooddale High Class of 1991, I would like to thank you for granting me the pleasure of being your President for twenty years. It is a privilege and honor to be among such excellence. I love to hear others speak about our unity. Even more, I love to say “We are a family!” I love each of you.

Your President,

Anita L. Walton
