Woodstock High School's top rival is Etowah High School. Some Etowah students moved to WHS when it opened its doors in 1996. The new students eventually adapted to the school and a natural competition developed between the new and old students.Their competitions between each other are often referred to as the "Battle for Towne Lake."
The football team made it to the Elite 8 in 2008 with an 8-5 record and the Sweet 16 in 2009 going 10-2, also making it to the first round in the playoffs in 2010, making this the first time Woodstock HS made the playoffs three years in a row.
The softball team won the 5AAAAA State Championship in 2006.

WHS offers a comprehensive selection of courses ranging from tech-prep offerings to courses in the national Advanced Placement program. Woodstock has recently won the Gold State Achievement of Georgia for its excellent academics.
The Den
Woodstock High School has a school-run enterprise shop called the Den.[2] The purpose of the Den is to provide students, faculty, and the community with high-quality products to promote the high school in a positive way. Students who work there are able to learn the standards of marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, and sales through experience and curriculum. Products available at the Den include backpacks, balloons, gifts, children's clothing, hoodies, pajama pants, shorts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and T-shirts. All of the Wolverine gear sold through the Den raises funds for DECA, an association for marketing students at WHS. The Den is located within the school and is operational Monday through Friday from 7:45 am to 8:20 am. The Den also sells merchandise online through the official Woodstock High School website.
