Brentwood Athletics is an important part of the school's mission to prepare its students "to be well-rounded citizens." Since the school's founding, hundreds of Brentwood students have learned sportsmanship, dedication, loyalty, teamwork, personal responsibility, and leadership on the playing fields and courts of the Georgia Independent Athletic Association (GIAA) and its predecessor, the Southeastern Association of Independent Schools (SEAIS).
Today nearly 80% of Brentwood's students participate in at least one of the school's 23 interscholastic athletic teams and receive valuable lessons in responsibility to their team(s), their school, and themselves.
A commitment to excellence is supported by the school's administration, its faculty, coaches, parents, grandparents, alumni, and student-athletes. During the 2014-2015, 2016-2017, 2017-2018 school term, Brentwood finished 1st place as 'Drake Award' recipients. The Drake award is a measurement of overall athletic performance within state competitions.
Brentwood's athletics program is dedicated to the development of the whole person -- mind, body, and spirit. Youngsters who experience the meaning of sportsmanship through athletic competition receive an understanding of life that will help shape their own personal philosophies and enhance their future.
Brentwood School has a long tradition of athletic excellence, as Lady Eagle and Eagle teams have captured 31 state and 134 region championships since 1971. Brentwood is currently a member of Region 4-AA of the Georgia Independent Schools Association (GISA) Interscholastic division.
