The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and its basic attendance zone covers the urbanized Georgia barrier islands of Whitemarsh, Wilmington, Talahi, and Tybee. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Accrediting Commission. It is also home to the Savannah-Chatham school district's Scientific Research and Veterinary Science Specialty programs.

As part of its Biological/Environmental Sciences program, Islands is the only school in the district to offer veterinary classes and agriculture classes. Various small animals can regularly be found on site.

History

Islands High School was started in 2010 to fill the need of a high school for the growing number of students on Whitemarsh, Wilmington, Talahi, and Tybee Islands. The school used the building previously occupied by Coastal Middle School. Coastal Middle shifted to the Islands Elementary building, and Islands Elementary was closed. Danielle Pinkerton was principal from the school's inception to 2014.

In 2012, Islands teacher Allison Konter was named SCCPSS district teacher of the year.

In 2013, Islands started its first junior varsity football team, and in 2014 it started its first varsity football team.

The principal of Islands High School as of August 2014 is Kerry Coursey, who was previously principal of Coastal Middle School.

In 2016, Islands was one of five Georgia schools to win an AP Champion Award.[4]
