In August 2009, the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board approved the opening of a second site for high school students receiving Gifted and Talented services at Woodlawn High School.   

Gifted services are currently available to eligible 9^th and 11^th grade students.  Starting with the 2012-2013 school year, these offerings will be extended to 12^th grade students to include all grade levels.  Talented services in theater, music, and visual arts are available to all grade levels. 

Who can attend Woodlawn High School?

How can I determine if my address is in the Woodlawn High attendance zone?
