History

In 2010 the Savannah-Chatham County School System decided a new high school was needed in the west Chatham County community. Construction of the new school started in early 2012 in hopes to be open by the start of the 2012-2013 school year. On August 27, 2012, New Hampstead opened.

Though the school was open it was still not finished. Throughout the school year, construction progressed on the far part of the school, known as the gold wing, and as well on the athletic fields.

Many students in New Hampstead High went to West Chatham Middle School.
