Brewer Area Vocational and High School was created in 1972 by combining grades 10-12 from seven area high schools. The school evolved from combining the five high schools of Cotaco, Eva, Ryan, Union Hill, and Priceville. Also, the other high schools in the Morgan County School System send their vocational and JROTC students to Brewer. In 1981 the 9th graders were also moved to Brewer. Beginning with the 2001-2002 school year, Priceville High School began removing one grade each year to become a high school again. Therefore, Brewer's student body now consists of students from five feeder schools: Cotaco, Eva, Union Hill, Lacey's Spring, and Sparkman. The construction of Brewer cost 2 million dollars in 1972, which would be about 12 million dollars in 2020. Present day There are currently about 902 students in grades 9-12. Brewer offers all the academics for honors and regular diplomas. In 2016, Brewer added several Advanced Placement courses for students. Brewer offers the only JROTC program and vocational/technical classes for the county school system. Students have a variety of elective subjects for participation. Students may also participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, programs and clubs. Extracurricular Besides the main academic classrooms, there are 15 vocational/technical classes at A. P. Brewer Area Vocational and High School.
