Welcome to Woodward-Granger High School!

Located approximately 25 minutes northwest of Des Moines in Woodward, Iowa, we serve just under 300 students in grades 9 through 12. We're a growing community with a small town feel and big city access.

Our dedicated staff strives to engage each student and meet their individual needs. We create learners who are good communicators, critical thinkers, and innovators. Our Hawks learn resiliency, and they positively impact our school and our community.

I am proud to serve as principal of Woodward Granger High School. For additional information or questions, please contact me directly: markfinken@wghawks.school or (515) 438-2115. 

Go Hawks!

Mark Finken, WGHS Principal
