Woburn High School has instilled the importance of education in generations of students for over 160 years. The school opened its doors in 1852 with thirty-four students in a leased room at the Knight Building on Main Street. Increasing enrollment and curriculum requirements necessitated the building of a larger school on Main Street in 1854 and again in 1906 at the Dow Farm property on Montvale Avenue. Woburn�s reputation as a leading leather manufacturer during the Civil War inspired the Tanner nickname; bull mascot and school motto: �Tanner Pride.� With the leadership of thirteen principals throughout its history; over thirty-two thousand students have graduated from this school. Today; more than half the faculty are returning alumni; and generations of Woburn families continue to send their children to this school. Join author Susan Thifault as she explores a history of pride and tradition at Woburn High School.
