Indian River High School is a high school in Chesapeake, Virginia. As of the 2006-07 school year, it has approximately 1800 students.
The principal is Mr. James L. Frye. The original IRHS was located on Old Greenbrier Road, while construction on the current building took place. The single-story facility opened in winter 1972 on Dunbarton Road, receiving its own address of 1969 Braves Trail in the mid-1990s. The Old Greenbrier Road building currently serves as Indian River Middle School. The 1969 in the school's address refers to IRHS' first graduating class.
In 1995, overcrowding at Indian River forced the school to add an extension, known as the "new wing". Outdoor trailers, known as "portables", also line the school's campus.
The school boasts several Southeastern District athletic titles, such as the two-year title holding Academic Challenge team, as well as Eastern Region titles in football, and boys and girls basketball. The Braves enjoy a long rivalry with Oscar F. Smith High School.
