Founded in 1980, it has an approximate enrollment of 2,384 students. Woodbridge has many athletic teams (baseball, cross country, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, etc.) which have participated in numerous CIF competitions. The school also has a very competitive marching band (which won many state championships and a national championship led by directors Joslynne Blasdel and Brad Harris) and an orchestra. In addition, Woodbridge High School's Academic Decathlon team is extremely competitive at the state level, ranking in the top 10 in 2013 and 2017.
Woodbridge High School was built with intentions of having it become a shopping center if student enrollment was low, as Principal Tom Nelson said in the fall of 2003.
The current administrative staff as of 2017 includes principal Christopher Krebs and assistant principals Alicia Foulk, Carlene McCurry, and Scott Sodorff.
Woodbridge is currently undergoing many improvements and renovations. A recent example is the new Aquatic Center which contains a 50 meter by 25 yard swimming pool, portable bleachers, restroom facilities and locker rooms.
Of note, the 1989 movie Gleaming the Cube starring Christian Slater was filmed partially at Woodbridge High School.
Woodbridge offers a strong array of extracurricular academic organizations and hosts an annual Academic Teams Banquet.
The Woodbridge High Entertainment Corps represented the state of California in 2010 in the Field Show International competition held in Washington D.C., taking first place in the Nation. The school's percussion ensemble is also considered one of the best in the nation. In 2012 the ensemble swept the World Championships in the concert division with a record setting score of 99.6 out of 100.
The school's chapter of the National Junior Classical League is one of the top in the nation. Woodbridge hosts an annual Certamen invitational and regularly hosts Southern California Regional Amici Madness and the California Junior Classical League Convention.
