Phoebus High School is a public high school located in Hampton, Virginia. Named after the neighborhood and former town of Phoebus, it is the newest of the four high schools in the city. Considered unique for the IDE Academy which includes Video Media Design, Engineering, and Video Game Programming. Originally designed as an "Open-Concept" school, permanent interior walls were minimized in favor of partitions that could be adjusted depending on building needs. Recent upgrades include interior walls, lights and switches, a renovation of the gymnasium and theater as well as the main entrances to the school. Phoebus continues to add nationally board certified teachers and several students have earned industry certifications via the CTE department.
Phoebus High School opened in 1975 as the newest high school in the City of Hampton, Virginia. When the school was built, there were no walls and few windows in the building. This was a popular trend in many schools built in the 1970s. In recent years, partitions have been constructed that act as permanent dividers between classrooms. Today Phoebus is home of Hampton City Schools Behind the Wheel program.

Phoebus' athletic teams are known as the Phantoms. Recently, the Phantom varsity football team has gained a significant amount of attention, having won seven VHSL State Division 5 Championships in 11 years, including five in six seasons and four straight (2001, '02, '06, '08, '09, '10, '11). On December 12, 2009, Phoebus defeated Stone Bridge 15-10 at Scott Stadium, on the campus of the University of Virginia. A year later, they defeated Stone Bridge in a rematch, by a score of 36-17. In 2011, the Phantoms beat South County 20-10.
Among notable college players to graduate from Phoebus are Running Back Elan Lewis and Linebacker Xavier Adibi. Adibi currently is with the Houston Texans. Phoebus quarterback (for 08-09 school year), Tajh Boyd, was the MVP for the Army Allstars football team.
