Congratulations on your retirement. I was in your class about 42 or 43 years ago. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for your dedication. Good luck in your next endeavor.

Mr. Woodworth was such an inspiration to me and to many others. He showed me how much fun math could be and helped me realize that it is more than just numbers on a page. He inspired me to become a math teacher myself and I can only hope to have an impact on the lives of my students the way he impacted so many. Congratulations on retirement Woody! You will be missed.

Had Woodworth all 4 years of my high school career… Along with 3 other students. He called us the fearsome foursome. There wasn’t a day that went by that he didn’t inspire you to do better.

Tom has been nothing short of a class act. I’m PROUD to say he his been a great friend to me and a joy to get to know and be a part of my life at Tosa West. I will miss him. He made being at West fun.
