VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — On Monday, a meeting was held to discuss the “Virginia Beach Schools of the Future Project,” which aims to replace four of the division’s oldest schools with three new ones.

According to project organizers, the four schools that will be replaced are Princess Anne High School, Bayside High School, Bayside Sixth Grade Campus, and Bettie F. Williams Elementary.

Once the project is completed, there will be two new high schools. The new, combined Bettie F. Williams 4-5/Bayside 6th Grade Campus will replace the schools occupying the Aragona Elementary School.
