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 950 students. In the school year of 2009-2010, Debra Conrad Knight was succeeded by Ann Pace as school principal.

Uniform

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 occasionally frowned upon by the student body. The uniform consists of either a white or navy blue T-shirt and grey pants. All students must wear plain black shoes.
