Phoenix High School

I went to Phoenix High School when I moved to Georgia in 1994. I applied to the traditional high schools but because I was moving after school started the school would not let me attend until January. They told me about Phoenix. I was quite impressed and preferred it over traditonal high school. I enjoyed the curriculum, the teachers, and just the way you were able to learn. I graduated in June of 1995. I would recommend this school to anyone.
