Phoebus Hish School is a really good place to start your career if you are planning on going to college or even to work straight after graduation. Phoebus has a specific program that allows you to take college classes while still in High School. Phoebus has helped me adjust to college life and has prepared me greatly for my future.

Phoebus has good teachers, academic programs, and sports, you just have to find them. Overall, the school definitely needs some revamping of certain facilities, but it is on its way. The ACE program is the highlight of the academics at Phoebus and give students a chance to earn their associates degree before their high school diploma.

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.

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...
