What started out as a one-room schoolhouse 10 years agois now a full new building forPhoenixAcademy.
On Thursday at 9 a.m.,PhoenixAcademy,thealterna-tivehighschoolintheChapelHill-Carrboro City Schoolssystem, will celebrate with aribbon-cutting ceremony theopeningofitsnewfacilitiesaswellas10yearsofsuccess.Val-erie Foushee, a county com-missioner and a member ofthe school board that startedPhoenixAcademy,will be thekeynotespeakerattheevent.
FousheesaidPhoenixAcade-mywasoneofthebestprogramsimplementedduringhertimeontheboard.
In1998,theschoolboardde-cidedtocreateafacilityforkidswhowereatriskofdroppingoutofhighschoolduetolong-termsuspension. Long-term suspen-sion isdefinedasmissing45ormoreschooldays.
Until this year, PhoenixAcademy was housed in threetrailersintheparkinglotofLin-colnCenterat750MerrittMillRd.Over the summer, abuild-ing behind the Lincoln Centerwas renovated to accommodatethePhoenixstudents.
There are 41 students cur-rentlyenrolledatPhoenix.MorestudentswillbeacceptedduringtheyearinOctober,JanuaryandMarch. Five teachers, a guid-ancecounselorandtheprincipalmakeupthestaff.
Burmadeane George, theprincipal of Phoenix Academy,says her job is “one of the bestkeptsecretsintown.”
“People think, ‘Man, this a
tough group,’ and yeah, they’retough—but they’re also sensi-tive,”shesaid.
George said what she lovesabout the Chapel Hill-CarrboroCitySchooldistrictistherigorofthecurriculum,whichalsoappliestothecurriculumatPhoenix.
She said theonlydifferencesbetweenPhoenix and theotherhighschoolsarethesmallerclasssizesandablockschedule.
“No one wants to go to aremedial school,” she said.“When kids go back, they’vemetthesamestandardsasev-eryoneelse.”
But not all students returnto their former high schools.Montez Edwards is a 17-year-old senior who transferred toPhoenix from Chapel HillHigh last year. Edwards saidhe has struggled academically
sincemiddleschool,andwhenheenteredhighschoolitonlygotworse.
“Itoldmymama,‘I’mgivingup — it’s too hard.’ It was mygrandmother that kept pushingme. Mrs. George won’t let megiveupeither.”
EdwardswillgraduatefromPhoenix Academy this springbut his diploma will be fromChapelHillHigh.AllstudentsatPhoenixhaveschoolliaisonsthat provide them with news-lettersandschedulesofeventsto keep them connected withtheirformerhighschools.Stu-dentsatPhoenix stillhaveac-cess to the resources at theirhighschoolsaswell.
George said that many havethefalseimpressionthatPhoenixisaschoolfor“violentkids.”
“We don’t take violent stu-dents,” she said.“Mostkidsarehereforacademicstruggling,notformisbehavior.”
Georgeandthefacultymem-bersconstantlyengagewiththestudents to make sure they arelearning and staying on top oftheirwork.Georgeupdatespar-ents weekly about their child’sperformanceatPhoenix.
“It has a real family atmo-sphere,” said George. “Otherprincipals get to do a lot ofpaperwork.Igettotalktothekids.”
