90th Anniversary Celebration

Please join Phoenix College in commemorating 90 years of teaching, learning, and student success! A week long celebration kicks off with "Phoenix College through the Decades", a variety show featuring live performances by renowned PC alumni, faculty, staff and students. The program will reveal glimpses of life at PC and the Phoenix community throughout nine decades. The emcee, KEZ's Marty Manning (yes a PC alum) and the PC Jazztet will weave in and out of each decade to set the scene for readings, music, dance, and song as we progress through each era.

Performances include the PC Jazztet and Choir with memorable tunes from the decades such as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, With a Little Help from My Friends, and Rehab (Glee arrangement). Historian Marshall Trimble will entertain us with stories about life in the 50's at Phoenix College, and much more!

After the celebration, you're invited to don a commemorative t-shirt and take part in a group aerial photo as we form a "90" to mark our 90th birthday.
