First Colonial High School is a high school in Virginia Beach, Virginia. First Colonial opened in 1966 by splitting students out of the former Virginia Beach High School, whose name was then changed to Virginia Beach Junior High School. Its mascot is the Patriots.
First Colonial runs a magnet program called the Legal Studies Academy, created to offer students a way to explore employment in the legal field. The school also has a joint Navy JROTC program with Cox High School, its traditional rival for First Colonial in sporting events and competitions.
First Colonial is one of five Virginia Beach high schools ranked in the top 1200 in Newsweek's 2006 ranking of American high schools.[1]
First Colonial is one of three public Virginia Beach high schools to have a club-level crew team, sharing rowing facilities with Princess Anne students. The First Colonial Crew Club competes in state and district regattas.
Along with Navy JROTC & crew, First Colonial has a state champion and national competing Mock Trial team.
