quote = He began at Averyville, then a Peoria suburb, in 1924 and switched to Kingman when Averyville became part of the city and the school was renamed. Kingman existed until the 1937-38 school year when the present Woodruff High School was constructed.] Named after Edward Nelson Woodruff, mayor of Peoria from 1903 to approximately 1925, the school is one of four public high schools in Peoria Public Schools District 150.

Woodruff's address is 1800 Northeast Perry Avenue, on the old North Side, which is now in the southeast part of the city. Perry Avenue was removed from in front of the school during expansion of the high school in the late 1970s, but the school continues to use the traditional street address.

The school nickname is the Warriors and the school colors are blue and gold. Woodruff is a member of the Mid State 6 Conference.
