Woodrow Wilson Senior High School is a secondary school located in Washington, DC, United States. Wilson, serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the District of Columbia Public Schools.
 
Dr. Stephen P. Tarason is currently the sitting principal for Wilson and has been since 1999. Woodrow Wilson Senior High School, Washington, D.C.’s largest comprehensive public high school, is known for its academic excellence and for its geographic, ethnic and economic diversity. The school's student body represents 85 countries and the students come from 40 different schools in the city. The school mascot is the Wilson Tiger. It is notable that, in context in Virgil's Aeneid, the line was an ironic comment made after the characters survived a shipwreck. Woodrow Wilson Senior High is located in DC's Tenleytown neighborhood, one block off Wisconsin Avenue NW.
 
In mid 2006, Woodrow Wilson Senior High School was proposed to be a charter school, but opposition from out-of-bounds students put the plan on hold. It has however a major objective of neighborhood and in-bounds interests. Woodrow Wilson Senior High School is the top performer in the non-magnet High School system in DCPS, District of Columbia Public Schools and one of the top performers in DCPS overall.
 
About 89 percent of Wilson students continue their education beyond high school, with 77 percent attending four-year or two year colleges or universities. Woodrow Wilson High School was the first school in the metropolitan area to adopt and implement a four course a day, alternating even day and odd day, modular schedule.
 
Aside from its academic strengths, Wilson is also known for its athletic programs. Not only do the Tigers maintain the only wrestling and crew teams among DC public high schools, but the baseball team has won more than ten consecutive city championships, and the soccer, cross country, and track teams are perennially among the best in the city.

The mission of Woodrow Wilson High School is to provide an environment in which all students will acquire the necessary skills to become responsible thinkers who appreciate diversity and are productive citizens in their community.
