}}'''Arcadia High''' is a high school in [[Brockton Bay]]. It is located near downtown, somewhere near Brockton Bay Central.
==Description==
Arcadia High is four stories high with two long buildings connected by a shorter crosspiece. The south side holds classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym. The north side is longer with an auditorium and more classrooms.<ref>Arcadia High consisted of two longer buildings joined by a third, joining them to form something like a capital ‘H’.  The main office, where I was, and all the other administrative and staff-related facilities seemed to be located around the center.  The only exits from this immediate area would open into an open space where I would be surrounded by walls lined with windows, all looking down at me.  Worse, the doors all had the heavy horizontal bars that suggested they were emergency exits, and an alarm would sound if I used them.<br/><br/>Assuming I had someone after me, I couldn’t afford to put myself in that position.<br/><br/>That left me two options.  I could head into the building to my left, which featured four stories of classrooms, the cafeteria and a gymnasium, with a door that led to the student parking lot at the front of the school, or I could head right, into a building that was much the same, though longer, with an auditorium and the front doors of the school in close proximity to one another, and quite a few more classrooms. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/30/chrysalis-20-4/ Excerpt] from [[Chrysalis 20.4]]</ref>
==Students==
Most of the Brockton Bay [[Wards]] team were known to be attending Arcadia High,<ref>[[Prey 14.10]]</ref><ref name="3.3">[[Agitation 3.3]]</ref><ref name="WoG1">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/extermination-8-7/#comment-1517 Comment by Wildbow]</ref> because it was the nicest public school available and a vocational school, allowing the Wards to spend half of their school day working as superheroes.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/interlude-3-2/#comment-148 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Interlude 3]]</ref>

[[Dinah Alcott]] attended a middle school nearby Arcadia High.<ref>“She disappeared from the middle school near Arcadia the same day we robbed the bank.  Obviously, Coil wanted to ensure the Wards weren’t close enough to interfere, probably why he was so keen on us doing the bank job, after I suggested it.  I made the connection, after.  I just didn’t think – Nothing he said or did led me to think it would be a serious kidnapping.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/buzz-7-12/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.12]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*The school has a [[Wikipedia:Faraday cage|Faraday cage]] to block cellphone use.<ref>Right.  Arcadia was one of the schools that had a Faraday cage, if I was remembering right.  Something to stop kids from texting and making calls in class. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/chrysalis-20-2/ Excerpt] from [[Chrysalis 20.2]]</ref><!---
Incorperate below

 It was an open secret that members of the [[Wards]] attended the school, and this inspired respect between the student. The school was good and both students and administration had pride in unholding this reputation.
