Businessman William Woodward opened the first Woodward High School on October 24, 1831. The oldest public-school west of the Allegheny Mountains, Woodward School was located on Sycamore Street in Cincinnati. In the early twentieth century the original building was razed and the new building was rebuilt and opened in 1907. Woodward found a new home in Bond Hill in the 1950s and as of 2006, the City of Cincinnati opened Woodward Career Technical High School. Famous Woodward graduates include President William Howard Taft.
