Arcadia High School is a public high school located in Phoenix, Arizona. The school enrolls 1,380 who primarily come from feeder schools in the Scottsdale Unified School District. Arcadia is currently undergoing significant renovation that began in the summer of 2005.
Since the 2003 school year, Arcadia H.S. has met No Child Left Behind standards, and is labeled "Excelling" by AZ LEARNS, Arizona's standards measurement. In 2005, the school produced three National Merit Semi-Finalists. 92% of students of the graduating class of 2005 continued their education, and in 2003 students were awarded a combined $3.5 million in scholarship money. Notable alumni include NASA astronaut Bill Shepherd (class of '67), and though he did not graduate from the school, director Steven Spielberg attended.
[edit] Renovation
The Orcutt/Winslow Partnership created the new design of the school. The construction is set to take place in three stages over three years by the contractor DL Withers Construction. The price for the school's improvement is set at $89,616,524 by a Guaranteed Maximum Price plan.
