Description: Doing a Christmas afternoon photo session on the campus of Arcadia High School. Arcadia is located just east of Pasadena, and 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles; thanks to Arcadia being home to Santa Anita Racetrack, Arcadia's public schools are better funded than in the rest of California, and Arcadia has developed a legendary status among wealthy Asian immigrants (especially those from Taiwan) as a result. Having once lived in Arcadia myself, it's always nice to come back for a new look. The Arcadia High School Performing Arts Center is a brand-new building for 2012, and would feel right at home even on a college campus. It is one of several buildings funded by the 2006 bond measure, including the Student Services Building, the Lecture Hall, and the Science Building. To the left, the single-story building is the headquarters of Arcadia Unified School District. In addition to Arcadia High School, the district also runs three middle schools (including First Avenue, a few blocks from Arcadia High and the oldest school campus in the city) and six elementary schools.
