Wakefield High School is one of three public high schools located in Arlington, Virginia.
closely borderingAlexandria. The school opened for the 1952–1953 school year.
Wakefield's athletes are called the "Warriors" and wear the colors kelly green, white, and black.
The school participates in the Virginia Hishg School League. The Warriors are represented
by an image of a knight holding a sword, which was preceded by an Indian head until 2003.
The original building, which was located at South Chesterfield Road, was built in 1952 and was
opened for the 1952-53 school year. In 2007, the county's school board began the
planning process for modernization or replacement of the Wakefield building. It will be the third
of the county's three high schools to receive a new building, following Washington-Liberty
(new academic wing completed in January 2008, full completion expected in late 2009) and
Yorktown (construction contemplated following a bond referendum in November 2008).
The order of construction of the three schools corresponds to the age of the three
existing buildings.
The construction on the new building continued as planned, as the new Wakefield High School
building opened in late summer of 2013. The original building was demolished after
the completion of the new building. Since 2013, the new building is located at South Dinwiddie Street.
