Before school every morning, students suffer from the poorly designed intersection at the GHS entrance.

The summer of 2024 was supposed to be when the city would begin construction on a roundabout, but this was delayed because no alternative entrance to the school exists. For students who had activities over the summer, there would have been no way to enter the school.

Because of this problem, the roundabout will not be constructed until at least 2025. This is also due to the many utility relocations needed for this large-scale project. The largest of these movements of utilities is Duke Energy. Duke Energy is in the process of moving transmission lines to the south side of the road.

Woodmen, however, are forced to deal with the existing one entrance and exit to the high school until then. Buses full of students, cars with kids, and teachers trying to make it to school on time are all affected. GHS unlike other local schools, is placed in a poor location on a smaller, busy road. Schools like Franklin, Center Grove, and Whiteland have multiple school exits. Franklin and Whiteland are both located off U.S. highway 31. This provides the students of these high schools more accessibility to exits and entrances to their own school.

Students constantly complain about the backed-up traffic on Smith Valley and Woodman Blvd. This traffic causes students to make stupid driving decisions as they rush before and after school. With a new roundabout, there will be less traffic build-up and fewer cars turning into the high school. This roundabout will efficiently allow for a stable traffic flow in and out. The roundabout also keeps drivers safe from the awkward left and right turns into the school entrance.

GHS is in dire need of this new projected roundabout, but GHS student drivers and staff will have to suffer until further notice.
