Greenbrier High School is a 5-A high school located near 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

Traffic has been a significant problem at the school since its opening in 1996. 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 an attempt to relieve the morning and afternoon congestion in the area Greenbrier started an optional "Zero Period" program, allowing the senior class to both begin and end the school day an hour earlier than usual. Many seniors decided to participate from the start as it permits them to work after school.

The Zero Period program resulted in some alleviation of the traffic issues. In 2007 an additional access road, General Wood Parkway, was constructed to provide more relief.

Coke vs. Pepsi Controversy

In 1998, a senior named Mike Cameron got suspended for wearing a Pepsi shirt on "Coke Day". This was a huge issue, and garnered national attention, with the incident even being referenced in several books. Coke Day was dreamed up by the student government as part of the school's entry in a national "Team Up With Coca-Cola" contest that earns $10,000 for the winning school. In the program, Coca-Cola Co. invites high schools throughout the country to show how much they like coca-cola.
