Class of 2023 Seniors

It’s your senior year of high school, and there are only a few short months left to enjoy it! You’ve spent the past four years dreaming about graduating, and the day is so close.  Before long you will be off to college and life’s adventure. Make your last year at Woodson your best.  By now, you know the many resources available to you and we encourage you to use them.  If you are struggling or unsure of what to do next, speak to your parents, teachers, or counselor.  They are all here to help you make the best decisions.  

Senior year is an important one.   Enjoy your last year of high school, you deserve it, and always stay on track, don't lose your motivation, and don't get lazy about school. Everything you do now will affect your future.

Senior Dues - Required

Class of 2023 Senior Dues are $70.

These dues cover items such as graduation cap and gown, diploma cover, programs and other graduation day items and costs. Senior dues may be paid online using MySchoolBucks. Directions on how to pay can be found HERE.  If you choose to send in a check, please make sure it is made out to Woodson High School and that your student’s full name is written in the memo section so that we can match the payment with your Senior. 

Please know that when prom tickets go on sale in May, seniors must have any outstanding course fees, library fees, and unpaid parking tickets paid or cleared before they are permitted to purchase prom tickets. By graduation rehearsal in June, seniors will also need to have any unreturned textbooks and school issued laptops/chargers returned, and senior dues paid, before they can receive their cap & gown. 

Outstanding items that seniors may have will be communicated to seniors and parents starting in April, with the exception of missing senior dues which will have notifications sent out throughout the school year.
