Principal's Message

My name is Phillip Pearson and it’s my great privilege to serve as the principal of Woodland High School. Prior to beginning as principal here at Woodland High School, I served as the principal and math and science teacher at Corbett High School. As hard as it is for me to believe, I have been in education for over 25 years. Every year has been an adventure and a joy, and this has never been truer than during my years here in Woodland. 

My dream is for every single student at Woodland High School  able to dream and aspire to the things that inspire them and that they leave high school equipped to pursue their dreams. We have exceptional students at Woodland High School that do exceptional things in the world. We also have an amazing staff. My goal as principal is to put our staff in a position to do their best work every day on behalf of our students. 

When I’m not at WHS, I enjoy hiking and backpacking and working on projects around the house. My wife and I have been married for over 25 years. We have one grown daughter who’s off exploring the world in far away places. We also have a dog named Fitz who enjoys barking at other dogs and taking naps.
