James "Benny" Washington is a Woodham High School history teacher and former coach of the Woodham Titans basketball team. His tenure as coach featured a great deal of controversy until he was removed from the position in 2006, which Washington claimed was retribution for his opposition to Superintendant Jim Paul's plan to close several schools, including Woodham. On March 9, 2007, Washington was arrested for possession of marijuana, cocaine and drug paraphernalia during a traffic stop by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
