Western Branch High School (WBHS) is a suburban high school in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States. Established in 1968, it currently has over 2100 students. The two feeder schools of WBHS are Joliff Middle School and Western Branch Middle School.
After it was determined that redistricting due to the opening of Grassfield High School was not going to impact WBHS, a $40,000,000 construction project was funded to accommodate the larger student body and modernize the technology and facilities. This construction included adding a two-story wing, providing natural lighting for the students, and renovation of the rest of the school. The construction was finished in early September 2010, while the renovation of the existing school was finished in the 2010-2011 school year.
