  Brooks School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brooks School is a private co-educational secondary school in North Andover, Massachusetts.
The School was founded in 1926 by the Rev. Endicott Peabody, then headmaster of Groton School, and named for Phillips Brooks, a well-known nineteenth century Episcopal clergyman, orator and author, rector of Trinity Church in Boston, Bishop of Massachusetts, and resident of North Andover.
The School's first headmaster, Frank D. Ashburn (a graduate of Groton School, Yale University and Columbia Law School), was appointed at the age of 25 and served for 46 years until his retirement in 1973.

 Calvert High School - History
Calvert High School was dedicated on May 5, 1963, in response to an increasing student enrollment that exceeded the capacity of the school's predecessor, Calvert County Junior-Senior High School.
To accommodate the school's burgeoning student population of 1300 in 1966, portable classrooms were acquired, and a twelve-classroom building built for Brooks High School was used by Calvert High School.
Calvert High School, therefore, is proud to work, to grow, to develop, and to respond effectively to the needs and requirements of the community it serves.

 Ernie Brooks
An active yet not-widely-known figure in the development of the punk/new-wave movement of the mid 70s, most of Ernie Brooks post-high school musical adventures were done in collaboration with future Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison.
Brooks met Harrison while both were attending Harvard in the final years of the 1960s, at which time they became members of Albatross, a ensemble that alternated Jimi Hendrix and Steve Miller covers with a handful of original numbers.
Brooks was ejected from the Catfish after a year (apparently due to an excessively relaxed attitude towards remembering his parts), and took Harrison with him to create the extremely short-lived unit The Eagles (not that one, of course).
