Woodbridge College opened its doors in 1958 as Woodbridge High School, and remained a regular neighborhood high school until 1991, when it became an academy alternative school, changing its name to Woodbridge College, with students in grades 7-OAC. In 2000, Woodbridge College’s alternative school status ended and it returned to being a regular neighborhood school starting at grade 9. The school building has undergone a major transition during the past four years including a renovation and a new addition housing 16 classrooms. The school’s current enrollment is approximately 900 students.
It is the only public high school in York Region where students wear uniforms, a policy which originated during its alternative school days, but still strongly supported by the community, although vehemently loathed by the student body.
The school has a fitness center and offers many sports in its extra-curricular program, including cricket, badminton, football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, tennis, floor ball, cheer leading and etc. The school's teams are known as the "Wyverns."
The school has opened its first DECA chapter in 2007 with 12 out of 15 members successfully reaching provincials. In 2009, 24 DECA students went to Provincials in the Sheraton, hoping to compete on the International Level.
On November 13 2009, the school suffered a tragic loss of student Catherine Tran, age 16, who was tragically killed in a collision with a York Region Transit bus. A noble person, and an exceedingly bright student, her death will surely be long lamented by her school, community, and family.
