History

Phoebus High School opened in 1975 as the newest high school in the City of Hampton, Virginia. It was designed as an "Open-Concept" school: Permanent interior walls were minimized in favor of partitions that could be adjusted depending on building needs. This was a popular trend in many schools built in the 1970s.
Recent upgrades include interior walls, lights and switches, a renovation of the gymnasium and theater as well as the main entrances to the school.
Today Phoebus is home of Hampton City Schools' "Behind the Wheel" program.
