Henry Wise Wood High School (HWW) is a public high school located in the southwest quadrant of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The school was built in 1961 and is named after Henry Wise Wood, an American stockman and farmer who moved to Alberta in 1905, where, as a progressive agrarian activist, was instrumental in making the United Farmers of Alberta an active political movement. Wood is regarded as an influential individual in Canadian agricultural and farming history.
Academically, the school offers the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB), and the Gifted and Talented Education Program (GATE), in addition to the full range of academic programs standard to the province. The school is part of the Action for Bright Children Society. A unique option in the IB Programme that the school offers to students as an additional Group 3 subject is Philosophy 20/30 SL IB, which is made available bi-annually.
Henry Wise Wood has a music program that includes a symphonic band, jazz band, and choir.
On January 16, 2026, a 16 year old Henry Wise Wood student was stabbed at a bus stop near the vicinity of the school, and an 18 year old man, Brayden Cailou, was charged in relation to the incident.
