This is our first year at WHE and to say we are pleased is an understatement. This is the warmest, most caring, community school I could have imagined my children attending. The teachers, principal, staff, PTO, are exceptional. I feel incredibly fortunate that my children are able to attend this caliber of a school. Close Quote

We moved to Mooresville five and a half years ago specifically so that our children could attend Woodland Heights, and we have not been disappointed! It is a warm environment, with excellent teachers, and an administration that is at the forefront of best practices in education. The parent community is very engaged, and the teachers and administration are very accessible and constantly working to differentiate each student's education. Close Quote
