Green Run High School is a public secondary school located at 1700 Dahlia Drive of the ''Green Run'' area of suburban Virginia Beach, Virginia. Green Run hosts a very diverse student population many of which come from the large concentration of military families that have moved into the area within the past couple of decades. The school was the largest high school in Virginia when it opened in 1979, with 247,000 feet of space. When it was first opened, it had the largest enrollment in the state, which accounted for much athletic success, especially soccer and track. Due to changing demographics and the ensuing addition of new schools, the school is now one of the smallest when it comes to student body population. This is a highly structured and professionally run school, making it one of the best in the city, and denouncing its previous nicknames. Construction cost totaled $11.4 million. In April 2010, it was announced that Green Run High School was one of three high schools nationwide to be awarded the 2010 College Board Inspiration Award winners for improving their academic environments and helping under-served students achieve equitable access to higher education. The prize includes a $25,000 award presented by The College Board.〔() College Board Press Release, April 2010〕 On July 13, 2012, President Obama visited Green Run as part of his Presidential Campaign. Hundreds of people packed the gymnasium to hear him speak. Local news stations WVEC, Wavy, and WTKR showed the speech on live webcasts on their websites. Ever since then, Green Run High School has become one of the most popular High Schools in Virginia Beach. 〔() President Obama speaks to Hundreds at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, July 2012 〕 Green Run High School now has a (Collegiate ) charter school with the IB Program. ==School Administration== *Mr. C.
