My experience at Phoebus was great. It provided me with opportunities to expand my education, including a program that allowed me to earn my associate's degree in science while attending high school. As a member of the first graduating class to participate in this program, I was honored to receive the Spotlight Award from the city council.

I am very grateful for my time at Phoebus High School. I was lucky enough to be accepted into the ACE program to get my associates degree the same year that I graduate high school. It's not perfect, but we make the best out of it. I definitely would like to see more staff that actually enjoy doing their job. I would also like it to feel more comfortable; we're kind of getting treated like we're in jail. I wish they would give some lenience to students; we are not all terrible kids. Overall, I'm grateful for the ACE program, and I met some great people along the way.

If you are not involved in the football program....forget it. The special treatment both my daughter and I have witnessed towards the football players is pathetic. Teachers look the other way when they do something, leaving everyone else to take the brunt of unfair discipline. It makes for a frustra...
