Prior to the school closure, a group of Woodstock HS students participated in the Georgia Technology Student Association (TSA) state conference. The students demonstrated their abilities to problem solve and think critically during competitive engineering events.

Principal Mark Smith was named TSA's statewide Principal of the Year, and Larry Moraniec was named the Volunteer of the Year. Moraniec, who was named both WHS and Cherokee County School Districts 2018 Volunteer of the Year, has volunteered for 12 years at the school and shared his industry knowledge as a retired General Motors employee.

Woodstock High School is a statewide leader in STEM, and these honors for its students, Principal Smith, and Mr. Moraniec are more evidence of the schools strengths in technology and engineering, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said.
