If you are an MISD volunteer, applying to become a Phoenix Volunteer, or interested in serving as a community partner, please complete the Phoenix/MISD annual background check for the new school year. If you have already completed a background check for a different school in MISD, let Dr. Mabry know and we can find your name on the district list. This very important step helps ensure the safety and well-being of our students, allowing you to enter our building and continue your valuable service.

Thank you for believing in our students, showing up, and helping them see that their circumstances do not define their future. Together, we are restoring hope through life skills, encouragement, mentorship, and community partnership.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

With sincere gratitude,

Dr. Deborah Mabry

Associate Principal
