A Letter from Woodlynde's Head of School
Dear Woodlynde School Community,
This year marks an incredible milestone—50 years of Woodlynde School. Since 1975, our mission has remained steadfast: to empower students who learn differently to reach their potential with confidence and purpose. As we celebrate five decades of impact, growth, and community, we invite you to join us throughout the year for a series of events, stories, and moments that honor our past and look ahead to our future.
Thank you for being part of Woodlynde’s story. We look forward to celebrating with you.
Dr. Gregory Martin
Head of School
50 Years of Memories
CELEBRATE WITH US
Kick-Off Celebration
Woodlynde’s 50th Anniversary Kick-Off Celebration was held on Saturday, September 20. There was a special ribbon cutting of our new Richard & Jody Homans Centers for Innovation, followed by an afternoon of fun at our beloved Fall Fest (formerly known as Family Fun Day for our alumni!). With over 300 current and former community members taking part in the day, it was an exciting way to kick off a major milestone in our history.

Join Us in Revitalizing the All-Purpose Room
The All-Purpose Room isn’t just a space; it’s where Woodlynde students discover new strengths, whether performing in front of peers, leading a team, or finding their voice. For 50 years, this versatile hub has been the heart of our community — hosting theater productions, athletic competitions, music performances, assemblies, and countless moments of connection.
Now, it’s time to honor that legacy while transforming the space for today’s students. Your support will help us:
Transform the Space: Upgrade the room that has already shaped so many lives, making it even more inspiring and versatile for the generations to come.
Empower Every Student: Give students the confidence to step up — whether it’s taking the mic, leading a team, or discovering new talents they might not have had the opportunity to explore elsewhere.
From Memories to Momentum: Celebrate 50 years of amazing theater, athletics, and music, while reimagining the space so the next generation can create their own unforgettable memories.
Together, we can renew the All-Purpose Room — the place where growth happens, confidence is built, and community comes alive.
