In order to become a Leadership student, interested students must apply the spring before the following school year. Applications are usually available in March or April and have a specific due date. The application includes a “job type” application and at least two teacher recommendations. It is a competitive process and, because there is limited space in the class, only the very strongest candidates are accepted; it is normal to have a number of interested students not be accepted. Students who are not accepted on their first attempt are encouraged to apply again the following year. If you are interested in applying for Leadership you must see the Leadership teacher in advance about the application process.
PHS Leadership consists of a group of students (in an actual class) that represent the entire student body of Phoenix High School. They are responsible for providing student activities and being the voice of the PHS student body to the staff, school district, and community. Their main objective is to make students feel connected to school and each other through involvement in Leadership organized activities, and to provide needed services in our community. The primary goals of Leadership include creating a memorable experience for all students on campus, to promote Pirate unity and spirit, and to grow as student leaders. Leadership actively works to ensure that student activities and campus life are alive and well and constantly makes contributions to the school, fellow students, and our community at large. This is done by hosting school events such as spirit assemblies, spirit weeks, spirit competitions, various fundraisers and drives (coat, food, gift, etc.), and Prom, to mention just a few. Being a member of Leadership occasionally requires students to do work before and after school in order to complete the necessary work.
