As we often point out here on Back Talk, Woodrow is one fantastic school. I even learned the other day following a post about magnet schools, that families outside the Woodrow attendance area can apply to Woodrow (this, according to Back Talk reader and Woodrow alumnus Kyle Rains). Why would they want to do that? For one thing, Woodrow is one of four Texas candidate schools for International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. It hopes to earn the designation by February, 2011. Learn more about that program here.

Tomorrow’s “Welcome to Woodrow” open house kicks off at 6:30 p.m. According to the school newsletter, “The evening will unveil the new ‘College Preparatory Academies’ which have been implemented this fall 2010. After an informational and entertaining presentation in the auditorium at 6:30 p.m., students and parents are invited to tour the school, meet with faculty and current students, and enjoy the Club Fair which will provide information about clubs and organizations as well as highlight the College Preparatory Academies. For more information please call 972.502.4400.”
