I Moved to Brentwood in 1998 with my wife Sherry Hartnett who had lived in Brentwood since 1990. She moved here because of the School system. Sherry nor I went to Brentwood schools but all my sons Andy Hartnett (just bought his first Home in Brentwood this year) , Eric Nuernberger, Jake Nuernberger and Cory Nuernberger all graduated from the Brentwood school system.
