About this property

Old Woodruff High School is a historic high school building located at Woodruff, Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

The building housed a high school until 1953 when Woodruff High School was constructed, then used as a middle school and later an elementary school. In 1978 the City of Woodruff acquired old Woodruff High School and adapted it for use as its city hall and police headquarters. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
