Greenbrier High School is a 4-A high school located within the Riverwood Plantation neighborhood of Evans, Georgia, a suburb of Augusta. Greenbrier High School consists of approximately 2300 students in grades 9-12. The school mascot is "Wolfie Wolfman" and their school colors are a deep green, gold, and blue.

Traffic Issues

Greenbrier is located in a growing suburban area and is in close proximity to two of its main feeder schools, Greenbrier Elementary and Greenbrier Middle. In 2008 an additional access road, General Wood Parkway, was constructed to provide direct access to the schools off of Washington Road.

Coke vs. Pepsi Controversy

In 1998, a senior named Mike Cameron was suspended for wearing a Pepsi work shirt on "Coke Day". This became a huge issue and garnered national attention with the incident being referenced in several books. "Coke Day" had been envisioned by the student government as a part of the school's entry into a national "Team Up With Coca-Cola" contest that bestows $10,000 upon the winning school. In the program, The Coca-Cola Company invited high schools throughout the country to show how much they liked the company.[2]

Academics

Greenbrier High School offers a wide variety of College Prep. and Tech. Prep. classes, but as of the school year of 2008-2009, there will be no difference in graduation requirements or degrees.

There are also many advanced placement (AP) courses offered, including the following (along with student-given abbreviations)[3]:

  • AP Biology ("AP Bio")
  • AP Calculus ("AP Calc")
  • AP Chemistry ("AP Chem")
  • AP Environmental Science ("AP Environment," "APES," or "AP Enviro")
  • AP European History ("AP Euro")
  • AP French
  • AP Government ("AP Civics" or "AP Go Po")
  • AP Language ("AP Lit" or "AP Lang")
  • AP Literature ("AP Lit" note: both are called "AP Lit" by students, but AP Language is an 11th grade course while AP Literature is a 12th grade course; students draw little distinguishment between the classes beyond that)
  • AP Physics
  • AP Psychology ("AP Psych")
  • AP Spanish (note: AP Spanish is the smallest class the school offers, with only 14 students signed up for the 2008-2009 school year)
  • AP Statistics ("AP Stat")
  • AP Studio Art ("AP Art")
  • AP U.S. History ("APUSH" note: pronounced as "a-push" without individual pronunciation of the letters)
  • AP World History ("AP World" or "WHAP: World History AP" note: this is the newest class offered by Greenbrier High School and will be instituted in the 2008-2009 school year. The class was designed specifically for future sophomores because of the increasing need for AP classes to get into Georgia's universities, most of which require two AP courses for admittance.)
