The Forensics, Speech and Debate Team is for students who enjoy public speaking, engaging with other students, and sharing their voices and opinions. We will get to connect with new people, hear new ideas, and shift our perspectives as we grow and challenge each other.

Students will pick pieces or topics to work on over the course of the year and will have opportunities to compete at various tournaments. We will also have members from the RHS Speech and Debate Team who will work with us and help us prepare. We will meet every other Wednesday (and as needed) to prepare speeches and cases, enjoy learning and sharing knowledge with each other, and gain confidence in our speaking skills.

Student Council is an important group of students who meet every other week (on Tuesdays) to organize and carry out projects to help the school and the community during the school year.  

The group is comprised of homeroom representatives and at-large members. The homeroom representatives are elected or selected by the homeroom to represent the homeroom class, so these students report back their homerooms and help lead their homerooms during competitions. The at-large members are full-fledged Student Council members, but they are not required to be spokespeople for their homerooms. The at-large members may come and go, as their after-school schedules allow.

Some of the projects the Student Council has conducted in the past have been the collection of canned food for the needy of Williamson County, collection of funds to aid the victims of disasters,  fund-raising projects to purchase special items for the school, sponsoring dances for 7th and 8th Graders, and organizing “Spirit Week” to foster school spirit for the whole student body.​

Woodland Middle School Theatre proudly presents “Night at the Wax Museum!” School’s out for summer, but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history; they have to retake the class in summer school. First year teacher Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project.  Though the students are bored, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra’s bracelet brings them to life! A lot of your favorite historical characters are out and about, such as King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, John Adams, and much more! Historical meets hysterical in this gut busting play written by Craig Sodaro. Tickets are $5 online or at the door.

Do you like to act, sing, or dance? Then you might be interested in our spring show, a Broadway staple, “Annie.” Auditions will be held Wednesday and Thursday, January 10 and 11, with callbacks on Friday, January 12. Auditions are a fun time and the material is given ahead of time to give auditionees a chance to prepare. This is a great experience that builds friendships, confidence, and understanding performance at a higher level. 

Students of all grades are invited to be a part of the backstage crew, which is essential to making the show happen. We are looking for students to help with lights, sound, costumes, makeup, concessions, and more. Students will fill out an application and will be able to communicate which parts of the production they’d be interested in. If you have any questions, please contact Miss Newman.
