Gateway to
Phoenix Success
Meet the challenges of college and succeed.
It's a big leap from high school to college. College classes challenge students to learn in new ways and by doing more outside of the classroom. The Gateway to Phoenix Success program will give students the tools they need to meet these challenges, empowering them to have the skills to succeed in the college classroom.

"I knew I wanted to go to college and wanted to take upper level classes in high school. It could be risky to say, yeah, Iām going to start taking college classes now. But with the Rising Phoenix program I felt like I could handle it, and I was willing to put in the work."
