Woodrow Wilson Junior High School, Tampa's oldest surviving junior high, was started here in 1915 with 10 teachers and 259 students. Its longest serving principal, (1933-1960), Miss Pauline Bush, began the county's first school safety patrol during the 1919-1920 school year. The school was rededicated in 1987 after extensive remodeling.
