COMPETE
From athletics to robotics, mathematics to music, a Woodlands education is as much about what goes on outside the classroom as within it. Our programs encourage each student to try something new and compete to the highest of her ability.

2025 May Crowning celebration
Woodlands Academy’s May Crowning Mass was held May 2 as a reminder that Mary’s example continues to endure 2,000 years after her Assumption. May Crowning is a traditional way within the Catholic Church to honor Mary, Mother of Jesus, by crowning her statue with a wreath of flowers. Senior Frances Rose Graziano was chosen for the honor of performing that task this year.
