Phoenix Academy is excited to host an upcoming Career Day on May 5, 2026 and we are looking for community members willing to serve as presenters and share their career experiences with our students.
Our students have expressed strong interest in learning more about:
Health care careers
Entrepreneurship and small business ownership
Colleges and universities
Military pathways
Trade and technical programs
At this time, we are especially seeking presenters connected to the military, including the Navy, Air Force, and Merchant Marines.
If you are interested in presenting—or if you know someone who would be willing and able to participate—please complete the presenter interest form below or share it with others in your network:

Career Day provides students with valuable exposure to real‑world career pathways and helps them envision future opportunities beyond high school. We greatly appreciate your support in helping make this event meaningful and impactful.
In addition to our holiday baskets, Phoenix Academy offers several ongoing supports aimed at reducing food insecurity in our community:
🥫 Community Food Pantry
Our in-house Community Food Pantry is open multiple days per week and provides students, families, and community members with access to essential groceries, household items, and hygiene products.
🎒 Weekend Food Bag Program
To ensure that students have enough meals and snacks when school is not in session, our Weekend Food Bag Program provides weekly food bags to students who may need additional support at home.
At Phoenix Academy, we believe that students learn best when their basic needs are met. Through these initiatives, we are fighting food insecurity, one student and one family at a time.
