Woodbridge High School opened in 1958 and remained a regular neighbourhood 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 neighbourhood 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 enrolment is approximately 700 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.

The school has a fitness center and offers many sports in its extra-curricular program, including badminton, football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and rugby. The schools teams are known as the "Wyverns." In 2007 the "Wyverns" basketball team was very successful and made it to OFSAA.
