Why Phoenix School of Roseburg?
Our Mission
At Phoenix Charter, we believe in every student’s potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our mission is to provide a supportive and nurturing environment that empowers at-risk youth to overcome challenges, embrace their strengths, and achieve their goals.
Our Vision
The mythology of the phoenix is a powerful symbol of rebirth and transformation. In various cultures, the phoenix is depicted as a magnificent bird that is consumed by flames at the end of its life cycle. Rather than disappearing forever, it rises anew from its ashes, embodying renewal and immortality. This cycle of death and rebirth represents the idea that destruction can lead to new beginnings. The phoenix serves as a reminder that difficult experiences can be transformative, allowing individuals to emerge stronger and wiser. Its story resonates with themes of resilience, hope, and the enduring nature of life.
Our Priorities
At Phoenix Charter High School, we offer tailored educational programs that address the unique needs of all students. Our curriculum focuses not only on academic excellence but also on social-emotional learning, life skills development, and mentorship opportunities. Graduating student’s unique journeys reflect the courage to choose a path that aligns with their learning styles and personal experiences. As they celebrate this significant achievement, they honor their growth and determination. This milestone symbolizes new beginnings, opening doors to endless opportunities, whether it’s further education, entering the workforce, or pursuing vocational training.
Individualized Learning
Phoenix Charter High School fosters a diverse community of students and thus we believe that each student should be able to follow an individualized plan to build on their strengths and interests. Because we believe that our purpose is to help the individual grow into a well functioning asset to their community, our school curriculum is comprised of three facets: academic achievement, career-technical education, and personal growth that provide emphasis on academic excellence, intellectual and personal integrity, participation in community life, and college and career readiness.
History of Phoenix
Phoenix School was founded in 1981 by a group of concerned educators in order to provide students with a safe and engaging environment in which they could learn and grow.
According to ancient Greek mythology, the phoenix has a 500 year lifecycle. Near the end of its life, it builds a nest of twigs and proceeds to ignite both the nest and itself. Reduced to ashes, a new phoenix arises, reborn to live again. The phoenix’s ability to be born again renewed from its own ashes implies that it is immortal and articulates a story of perseverance and growth. At Phoenix Charter School we believe that every student has the ability to overcome challenging circumstances to arise as a newer better version of the past self and we work diligently to provide each student with such opportunities.
