Janie Potter: I've taught at Brentwood School for the last 24 years and I love it here! According to local historian Kathy Leighton, the school was first established in 1879, and relocated to it's current site in 1997. Many of the students I've taught over the years have parents and grandparents who also attended this community gem. The traditions that have been passed down at Brentwood School reflect our appreciation and respect for the families we serve and the value we place on high-interest instruction with a solid academic focus.
