The Eastern Region was one of the four AAA regions in the Virginia High School League. It was made up of four districts: the AAA Beach District, the AAA Eastern District, the AAA Peninsula District, and the AAA Southeastern District. Group AAA is the largest enrollment class for VHSL schools, and typically AAA is the most competitive level as well. In 2013, the three classification format was eliminated in favor of a six classification system. Accordingly, the Eastern Region was eliminated, while the districts were retained for regular season competition.
The Eastern Region comprises most of the larger public schools in the Hampton Roads area, including public schools from Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake.
