Replacement school

After 70 years in its Oak Avenue facility, a new Highland Springs High School building opened for the 2021-22 school year. The new building replaced the original high school building with one built nearby. The project was part of a two-school replacement initiative by Henrico County Public Schools, which also opened a new J.R. Tucker High School for 2021-22. The two new schools cost about $100 million each.[3] Both new schools were built on the football fields adjacent to their old buildings, and new football fields were constructed.

The old Highland Springs High School building — built in 1952 and renovated in 2008 — is being repurposed as the Oak Avenue Complex. "The Oak" will be HCPS' first full-service community school hub, part of a strategy to connect students and families with community services. It will add dedicated areas for a variety of academic and after-school programs and create a one-stop shop where students and families can connect with groups providing services they need.[4]
