Greenbrier East High School is a consolidated school in Fairlea, West Virginia, that serves grades 9 through 12. It is a part of Greenbrier County Schools. Greenbrier East High School is located on Spartan Lane, just off US 219 near Lewisburg, West Virginia. Although not within easy walking distance of Lewisburg, the school has a Lewisburg mailing address. The school had 1,048 students enrolled (as of 2021-2022), and over 65 faculty members.
The Spartans won the 2012 girls' basketball state championship under head coach and now-Governor (since 2017) and senator-elect Jim Justice, a billionaire businessman who has coached the team since 2003 (and the boys' team from 2011 through 2017). Justice has continued his coaching duties while serving as Governor of the State of West Virginia and has mentioned potentially being interested in staying in the role even after taking office as a U.S. Senator for West Virginia in January 2025.[2][3]
