Meet Your Principal
"School should be a place kids like to come. It should be a place families feel welcome and happy to leave their children. I am proud to have been at Phoenix Academy for over 20 years helping to make it just that place. We are a family who cares and sees the potential in each person who comes through our doors be it a student, parent, or staff member. Through the building of relationships, we work to educate the whole child. It is our honor to be a part of your family's educational journey and to help shape the future."
- Heather McNees, Principal at Phoenix
