West Ridge High School Set to Open | Richmond News

Chesterfield is set to unveil its first new high school in two decades—West Ridge High—opening in August 2027, with a jaw-dropping 340,000 square feet, 2,400 seats, two gyms, an auditorium, and even a TV studio. To support the surge in western growth, a $60 million road linking Westerleigh and Duval is also hitting the finish line in 2027. The $196 million project, funded by 2022 voter-approved bonds, responds to a booming population and aims to relieve pressure on Cosby High, while new elementary and middle schools are already in the pipeline—building a future-ready infrastructure for Chesterfield’s west side.
