The little country high school that could.....
Once remotely removed from the hustle and bustle of Virginia Beach development, Kellam High School stood solid as the "Green Line" approached and neighborhoods sprouted all around it in the past 25 years. Built in 1962, Kellam High School, one of the City's most popular schools, became overcrowded and outdated.
In the beginning of this month, a new, 108 acre site was chosen for the new Kellam High School. Located at the corner of West Neck Rd. and North Landing Rd., the new site will allow for a larger school, more parking and spacious athletic fields. This new location is more than three times the size of the current site.
The land already has utilities present so development should move forward once the sale is closed and the design is formalized.
Rising high school students going to Kellam beware...the Municipal Center area is speeding ticket central and with the increased traffic from the new school, will probably become even more so. Also, the question arises regarding the need to expand North Landing and Princess Anne Roads...will this ever happen?
