Phoebus High School Named 2026 Level Up Virginia Champion

Phoebus High School has been recognized as a 2026 Level Up Virginia Champion, an honor awarded to schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting students in their postsecondary planning and success.

 

Phoebus is one of only 51 schools across Virginia to earn the designation after successfully coordinating and submitting data for all four Level Up Virginia initiatives: ECMC College Nights, Virginia College Application Week, FAFSA Next!, and Decision Day Virginia.

 

The recognition highlights the school's dedication to helping students explore college and career opportunities, complete the college application process, secure financial aid, and celebrate their postsecondary plans.

 

“Phoebus High School's recognition as a 2026 Level Up Virginia Champion reflects the intentional work of our counselors, teachers, administrators, students, and families to ensure every student is prepared for success after graduation. By participating in each of the Level Up Virginia initiatives, Phoebus has demonstrated a strong commitment to helping students explore their options, complete important college and financial aid milestones, and confidently pursue their postsecondary goals,” said Shameka Pollard, chief of secondary school leadership. “We are proud of this achievement and congratulate the entire Phoebus High School community on this well-deserved honor.” 

 

Level Up Virginia events are co-sponsored by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC), and GEAR UP Virginia.

 

Congratulations to the students, counselors, staff, and administrators at Phoebus High School for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to student success.
