With more encouragement for ladies to run, swim, play, etc., like a girl, it’s no wonder more female students are opting to take on athletic challenges.

The Woodlands High School has experienced an increase in girls who participate in athletics, and to accommodate the program’s growth phase one of the project to expand the girls’ locker room is underway.
