Calvin M. Woodward High School is a public high school located in the north side of Toledo, Ohio, that was built in 1928.[3] It was named after an early advocate for vocational education. The original Woodward Technical High School was located in the former Central High School building[4] at the corner of Adams and Michigan streets (the current site of the Lucas County Main Library)[5] before the present location was chosen. Woodward is part of the Toledo City School District.
The Woodward Polar Bears wear blue and white for athletics and chose their nickname because they are located in the north end of Toledo. Woodward is a charter member of the Toledo City League from 1926. From 1923-1932,[6] Woodward played Libbey High School in a football game on Thanksgiving Day until Libbey and DeVilbiss High School became the annual matchup.[7]
In 2010, the building that Woodward's neighborhood had called home since 1928 was replaced by a newer facility located on the same property.[8]
Mr. Emillio Ramirez is the current principal.
