Starting Monday, the 1800+ students of Northwood High School will attend Charles Woodward High School in Rockville while the buildings at their former Silver Spring location get reconstructed.

The original Northwood High was built in 1956 in Kemp Mill. It will be razed and rebuilt with a new courtyard design. School officials expect the new school to be ready for classes by September of 2028.
Last spring, Northwood students registered their frustration with the plan by staging a walkout. Woodward High School remains a work in progress with no athletic fields ready for play.
Most students will be bussed the 8 miles to Georgetown Road in time for class on Monday morning.
