Why Phoebus High School? Until it was closed at the end of the ' 74 term, Phoebus School was the second oldest of the elementary schools in the city of Hampton. It was built in 1902. Prior to this date a four room school, located directly near this, was moved around the corner and became the town hall. When a fire struck the present building in April, 1954, the third floor was destroyed and af¬ ter that only the first two floors were used. When names for the new high school were being considered, citizens, ex-students of Phoebus, and educators asked that the name of the new school be PHOEBUS. Thus PHOEBUS HIGH SCHOOL was given its name. ii

Harrison Phoebus From Farm To Fame From a small farm in Maryland, Harrison Phoebus settled in the community of Mill Creek in 1864, where he was a railroad agent. In 1874 the energetic young man acquired the Hygeia Hotel at Fort Monroe. Soon he was a young millionaire. The success of the luxury hotel prospered the surrounding town. When in 1881, the Chesa¬ peake and Ohio Railroad extended its line from Newport News to Mill Creek, the name Phoebus was given to the new railroad station. On the site where the Strawberry Banks now stands, Mr. Phoebus built the palatial Roseland, his home. The manor house is still in use. At the age of 45, the prominent businessman died from a heart disease. But the man left a leg¬ acy wealth and a name to his town. 10
