Campus
Greenbrier is located in a growing suburban area near 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 was suspended for wearing a Pepsi work shirt on "Coke Day." "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 this program, The Coca-Cola Company invited high schools throughout the country to show how much they liked the company.[3]
