Heritage Having existed for eighty-one years, Woodward Academy has a special heritage, one that its peo- ple are proud of. Founded as Georgia Military Academy, Woodward has come a long way from its early days to the modern college preparatory school it is today. Woodward, because of its stable heritage, can expect an even brighter future. Woodward Academy owes John Charles Wood- ward deeply for many of its great qualities. Colo- nel Woodward, his wife, and one other teacher established the school in 1900 on a campus com- prised of only one building. With $1,500 to orga- nize an enrollment of thirty cadets, Woodward established Georgia Military Academy. His forty years of dedicated service, as the school ' s first president, transformed GMA from its humble be- ginnings into one of the South ' s finest military academies. When formal military training ended in 1966, the Academy was renamed in honor of Colonel Woodward. The Academy ' s development has been aided, as well, by other great men. Colo- nel William R. Brewster, Sr. succeeded Colonel Woodward, and provided commendable leader- ship for some twenty years. His son. Captain Wil- liam R. Brewster, Jr. followed in his father ' s foot- steps and became the institution ' s third president. It was Captain Brewster ' s leadership that allowed Woodward to change with the times. During his term, the male military school, GMA, became an outstanding co-educational college preparatory school. In 1978, Dr. Gary M. Jones became the fourth president and, with the Board of Gover- nors, has further aided the continuous growth of the Academy. Their guidance has helped Wood- ward Academy develop into an exceptional institu- tion. Woodward Academy has a long, successful heri- tage. The people of Woodward are proud of the military school of the past which laid the founda- tions for the Woodward Academy of today • 6 HERITAGE
