New Hampstead High School was opened in 2012 by the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools. It is located at 2451 Little Neck Road in Bloomingdale, Georgia, United States.

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 its doors.

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 Hamstead High went to West Chatham Middle School.
