History
Phoebus High School was founded in the 1975 as the newest school of all the Hampton public high schools. When it was constructed, there were no walls and few windows in the building. This was a popular trend in many schools built in the 1970's. This has since been addressed in the form of partitions that act as permanent dividers between classrooms. Phoebus High School is named after the former town of Phoebus. Today Phoebus is home of Hampton City Schools Behind the Wheel program.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
