Skyline High School’s College and Career Center (CUBE) has a new director and students around the school are asking who he is. Anthony Woodford is bringing his experience and knowledge to help students achieve excellence.
Before Skyline, Woodford worked at Clague Middle School as a community assistant and served as a longtime program coordinator with the Ann Arbor Neutral Zone in their Arts & Music programs. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. He is excited to be at Skyline to bring his vision to the CUBE located in room B329, next to the library.
The CUBE provides many useful tools for students including college visits, quiet spaces to work, counseling and mentorship, contacts and connections with secondary education fields, and more.
“The goal of the CUBE is to get as many kids in here and think about their potential and execute,” says Woodford. “I want the CUBE not to just be a college facilitator, but also help figuring out what students do best to find out what they have to do to get there.”
Mr. Woodford wants to make sure students have options after high school and will offer all the support he can to help them get there. He is pushing them to the path after high school that is best for each student. “College is not for everybody and not everybody needs to go to college,” says Woodford. “But we are in the business of making everything aware of after high school and providing help wherever is needed.”
You can find students using the CUBE every day, especially juniors and seniors who know their time in high school is coming to an end. “It has been really good and helpful,” says Aiden Schlect (‘26). “I enjoy talking to Mr. Woodford and it is a good environment in there to get my work done and learn about college.”
The CUBE has frequent visits from college representatives during senior application season in order to ensure students know enough about where they want to apply, and learn more about where they haven’t thought of applying. The CUBE is all about finding the right fit for you.
“I would go in when there were representatives coming in to lecture pretty often,” says Josh Hetrick (‘25). “It inspired me to apply to more schools I never thought about applying to before.”
