Whoever wants to update this page feel free to. I just made it really really quickly cause I was bored one day and I was looking through high schools and I thought, hey Brookwood needs one too! So I added it in. Onejsin 02:10, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Brookwood's Cross-Country team is awesome! Especially the Girl's team lead by freshmen Carly Egan and Jumior Raxanne DeMarco. These ladies rock! Carly Egan is a super freshmen, and her best time was 19:10! Imagine what she'll be running when she's a senior!--192.24.250.15 22:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Would y'all please quit being so childish about editing this page? If you have a grief with someone, talk to them, don't insult them on Wikipedia. If you don't like the school, this isn't the place to compalin either. Moberho 13:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Question: Why is the old schedule still listed. Wouldn't it make more sense to only have the new schedule? Asmodeus Draconis 21:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

How exactly should we cover the issue of Daniel Peek's accident? It's important, but I don't see where it could fit on the main page. SilverSnayke 20:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it doesn't warrent a spot in the article. It's sad, and it affects the community, but it's not encylopedia worthy. Moberho 01:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with Moberho.SilverSnayke 13:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As do I. Asmodeus Draconis 18:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop vandelizing this page by erasing reserched history about Brookwood's foundation, school colors and logo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.203.202 (talk) 06:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "Researched" is of no value if it's not cited to verifiable, reliable published sources. -- Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  08:50, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Surely you're not presuming to question the reliability of research (we won't talk about the spelling) by "Dr." Mikey?? LOL... Docsavage20 (talk) 14:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Doc Savage is a hater of Mike Schmidt. Doc Savage has never even been to Brookwood High School. Mike was very popular there. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!98.70.108.170 (talk) 03:29, 25 March 2011 (UTC) What I wrote is all truthful. I have this from a first hand source, if you do not believe me contact Dr. Schmidt for yourself like I did. I also spoke with Scott Smith, one of Brookwood High School's first Assistant Principals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.203.202 (talk) 03:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC) This person is telling the truth. Dr. Lawson was not involved with selecting the schools colors or mascot.

I do not want to edit what someone wrote - I would rather inform and let them correct the error. Pertaining to the statement: "The school derived its name from its location on the intersection of Holly Brook Road (now Web Gin House) and Dogwood Road." Hollybrook Road and Webb Gin House are two different roads. Hollybrook Road is still there! The two roads used to intersect at Dogwood, making a 4 way stop. Land was bought and a parking lot put in while the curve coming around the football field (Hollybrook Road) was moved to meet up with Dogwood Road about 1/8 mile away from the intersection. Now the parking lot empties out where Hollybrook used to meet Dogwood Road. A few years ago they put in a traffic light at Webb Gin House & Dogwood Rd.

Dr. Michael E. Schmidt, who was just a student at the time, was the person who was the head of the three student committee, not Dr. Emmett Lawson. It was Dr. Michael E. Schmidt's idea for Brookwood High School to use the colors maroon and gold. Dr. Lawson had nothing to do with that decission. Dr. Michael Schmidt, who was a senior coming to Brookwood from Parkview High School, did not want for Brookwood to have the colors orange and blue. Actually Dr. Emmett Lawson and the Brookwood administration suggested that Brookwood be orange and blue like the Denver Broncos, but the final decission was up to Michael Schmidt and two females who were juniors from South Gwinnett High School [ I do not know their names], but I also know Michael Schmidt and he confirmed what Assistant Principal at the time Scott Smith had said. By the way, at no time was Dr. Emmett Lawson even in that student committee meeting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.133.105 (talk • Obviously, certain people graduated this school without the ability to spell. contribs)

Crickets my big toe you ain't from Brookwood High School Mr. Sock Puppet who calls himself Docsavage20 Mike Schmidt deserves to get all of the credit because he is the one who came up with Brookwood's colors. Anyone who was at Brookwood the first year knows this.98.70.108.170 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC). Amen to that. I think that Mike is a great guy. Mikey's name should be on that page. These wicked attacks by haters are just wrong.68.157.198.127 (talk) 22:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Self-promotion deleted
Unsourced, unsupported, original "research", self-promotion, whatever you call it, I have deleted it. The user that posted it claims to personally know the person listed. In fact, he IS the person listed. Some of his sockpuppet accounts have been pulled; one of them is currently blocked for vandalism and harassment. This explaination will likely be "blanked" by the perpetrator, if his recent Wiki-wars are any indication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.251.251 (talk) 22:40, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure enough, after his block expired, the vandal blanked the explanation. A very persistent vandal. ++
 * Is it entirely accurate to call it "self" promotion when he has so many identities? Docsavage20 (talk) 14:26, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Everyone who was from Brookwood its first year knows that Mike Schmidt was one of the most popular students there(nope, don't think so!), that Mike chose the school mascot and colors, and these haters of Mike have never ever stepped a foot on the campus.98.70.108.170 (talk) 03:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC) And I agree, ask Scott Smith and you will know the truth that Mike did come up with the idea for Brookwood's colors to be burgendy (Seriously?????) and gold because he and his friends from Parkview High School did not want for Brookwood to be the same colors as Parkview.98.70.108.170 (talk) 03:36, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Whether it is true or not, it is not supported by reliable sources, and even if it were it would not be significant or notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopaedia. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:50, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I think that Mike deserves to be mentioned. Brookwood's colors were all his idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.157.198.127 (talk) 22:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You have no sources, the event is not notable enough for inclusion in this encyclopedia. -- Diannaa (Talk) 22:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
