History

Kempsville High School opened its doors to students in 1924. The original building, plus its adjacent gymnasium, still stand to this day. The present building, which opened in 1966, is the third building to have the name Kempsville High School. From 1959 until 1966, students living in the Kempsville area attended Princess Anne High School. In 1966, when the growth of the city required the construction of neighborhood high schools, Kempsville High School reopened at its current location, serving grades eight through twelve. In 1969, grades eight and nine moved to the newly opened Kempsville Junior High School. The ninth grade moved back to the high school in 1992. Currently, Kempsville High School houses approximately 2,300 students in grades nine through twelve. It is located about one mile south of Interstate 264. The mascot is an Indian chief and the school colors are red, royal blue, and silver.
