John. H. Wood Jr. Public Charter District

Welcome to the John H. Wood, Jr. Public Charter District Web site. We are a charter district with six campuses in Texas serving students in San Antonio, San Marcos, Granbury, Rockdale, and Post. Our district consists of six different campuses, delivering individualized education to at-risk students. We firmly believe that it is never too late to help a child, and our mission and philosophy reflect that. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to the success of each student—not only as a learner, but also a person.

We hope you’ll take moment and browse our new site. We know you’ll find it a great resource. If you still have questions, please give us a call. We’ll be happy to help you.


A Message from our Superintendent

Greetings,

The first campus of John H. Wood opened in the fall of 1998. Originally serving approximately 30 students, our enrollment has grown to over 550. Our school has changed names and locations, but the one thing that has not changed is our dedication and love for all at-risk students.

On our six campuses our faculty and staff offer students a challenging core curriculum with an accelerated academic focus in a supportive, structured environment, inspiring in them the belief for a better life — a life worth living. We know that many students who do not succeed in a traditional school setting can fall behind and miss the chance to lead a successful, productive life. Our goal is to give this opportunity back to each student: to inspire full potential, encourage self-discipline, and affirm self-worth. We want each of our students to believe they have the power to create a life worth living.

 

Sincerely,

Bruce Rockstroh
Superintendent
John H. Wood, Jr. Public Charter District
