Alton C. Crews Middle School is a middle school in the Brookwood Cluster of Gwinnett County, Georgia. Dr. Stacey Schepens is the school principal. It is a part of Gwinnett County Public Schools.
Founded in 1996, the school is named after Dr. Alton C. Crews (1924–1996), a 13-year former superintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools (1977–1989).
With student population rising every year, the addition of trailers has been constant. A new portion of school was completed in 2007/2008. There is a total of 14 classrooms- 10 regular education classrooms and 4 for resource. New renovations, as well as a new computer lab has been added as of August 2007. As of 2008, the school had more than 1,400 students.
In 2002 or 2003, after a tour of the technology laboratory at the school, the education minister for Curaçao invited Janet Blanchette, a Crews teacher, to visit that country and help train their teachers, since that country's school system was in the middle of a technology upgrade.

Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad, she was horrid.”
