Newport News' biggest employer is Huntington Ingalls Industries / Newport News Shipbuilding — Virginia's largest industrial employer, building U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis portion) is also in Newport News. Public schools include Menchville High, Heritage High, Denbigh High, and Warwick High, with Menchville historically among the top performers.
