Who can enroll
Phoenix has no attendance zone. It “is open to students from all GCPS High Schools,” and its mission is “to ensure the success of students who may be unlikely, for a variety of reasons, to reach their potential in a traditional setting,” according to its registration page. The school says it was created in 1988.
To enroll full time, a student must be at least 16, have attended at least one year of traditional high school and be in good standing at the current school; a parent or guardian must come to the registration appointment for students under 18. Students request an appointment online and watch an orientation video first. Requests for the Mini 3 term open by noon on Nov. 9, according to the page. A student who enrolls may not return to the home school until January or August.
Phoenix also runs a second campus, Phoenix at Sugarloaf Mills, with the Simon Youth Foundation, at 5900 Sugarloaf Parkway; its information line is 678-344-4444.
