Woodbridge High School Administration introduces Barron of the Week to celebrate exemplary behavior. The selection process is determined by a teacher or student advocating for a good deed that a student has done.

In the words of Gibson, if you see someone getting recognition, it makes you want to reciprocate the same behavior as well. 

Barron of the Week is posted to Dr. Lottmann’s Twitter page and the school’s Instagram.
