Woodruff Career and Technical Center is a public vocational school located in Peoria, Illinois. Until 2010, it was a standard comprehensive high school known as E. N. Woodruff High School, and was more commonly known as Woodruff High School or simply Woodruff. The original high school opened in 1937 and was closed for one school year (2010–2011), reopening as a specialized high school with its current name.
Woodruff opened in 1937 replacing Kingman High School. (Kingman had formerly been named Averyville High School, prior to Peoria's annexation of Averyville in 1927. [4] [5] ) The school was named after Edward Nelson Woodruff, who served as mayor of Peoria off and on from 1903 to 1945.
The Woodruff campus was built at 1800 Northeast Perry Avenue; on what was called the North Side when the school was built, but is now in the northeast part of the city. Perry Avenue was removed in front of the school during expansion of the high school in the late 1970s, but the school's address was not changed.
On September 21, 2009, District 150 voted to close Woodruff High School, effective with the 2010-2011 school year. The vote was 4-3. [6] Students were moved to the other three high schools in Peoria: Manual, Peoria (Central) or Richwoods.
The school only remained closed for one year. For the 2011–2012, it was re-opened as the Woodruff Career and Technical Center, a specialized high school with vocational training.[ citation needed ]
