Floyd E. Kellam High School, first opened in 1962, serves the largest geographical area of any school in the City of Virginia Beach. The boundaries run from the highly populated General Booth corridor south to the North Carolina line and from Landstown east to Back Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This uniqueness is also seen in the diverse student population of Kellam High School. The student population is comprised of 70 percent Caucasian students, 15 percent African-American students, 10 percent Hispanic, and 5 percent Asian/Pacific Islander students. In 1994-95, with the opening of Ocean Lakes High School, attendance areas were rezoned, causing an enrollment drop of 450 students with a proportional loss of teachers, counselors, and administrators. However, since 1998 to the present, enrollment has increased to a student population of 2,300. With the opening of Landstown High School in 2001, Kellam underwent another rezoning. Current student population is nearly 2,400. Mascots are the Kellam Knights. The original school closed in January 2014 and moved to its current facility on West Neck Road.

Named for Floyd E. Kellam, a very influential local political figure from the mid-20th century.
