RE: Phoenix Program/ End of Year Report

The first decade of the Phoenix Program is now complete! Fourteen of our students will graduate with the Spaulding High School Class of 2008. Many of these students overcame great odds to attain this goal and we at Phoenix are extremely proud of their accomplishments.

This year as in years past saw students working long hours outside of school. We also saw the continuing trend of expectant mothers using the Phoenix Program to finish high school. The support of the community and school board is greatly appreciated by the Phoenix staff and is a huge factor in our success.

Please see below for a statistical review of the 2007-08 school year:

Total Population Served:	26
Graduated with Class of 2008:	14
Entered G.E.D. Program:	0
Moved from district:	2
Removed from program:	2
Returned to Spaulding:	0
Returning students 2008-09:	8

Please Note:

· All 14 students needed Phoenix to graduate with the class of 2008.

· Six Phoenix students worked an average of 40-45 hours per week while attending school.

· The selection committee met on May 28^th to add new students for next year.
