Arcadia High School is a public high school in Oak Hall, Accomack County, Virginia, United States. It is one of two mainland high schools in the Accomack County School District. It serves students in the northern half of the county. The school mascot is the Firebird, which was chosen by the principal at the time, Mr Jack Gray. This mascot was relevant to the previous school that was there before, which was named the Cardinals.
The school was previously named Atlantic High School, most of the previous campus was destroyed by a fire in 1975. Classes were still held in the undamaged portion of the school after the fire. The current Arcadia High School campus was opened in September of 1978. Nowadays, the back hall, auditorium, café, and art room area are all parts of the old Atlantic High School.
