The Woodward School is a historic school building on Town Square in St. George, Utah. Built from 1897 to 1901, it was the city's first centralized public school building, bringing together students from the older, smaller schools around the city.
The school building housed both elementary and intermediate-aged students until 1936, when a new elementary school building was constructed across the street. Afterwards, it became known as Woodward Junior High School until a new junior high opened in 1977. The historic structure has since been used by the local school district in a number of capacities, including as overflow for nearby schools. Since 2020, it has housed Southwest Adult High School.
The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and underwent a major restoration completed in 2004.
