PHOENIX — It’s a trend going in the wrong direction: more and more high school students are dropping out of school. However, the Phoenix Union High School District is working to tackle this issue head-on.

“We've lost a lot of students, and I don't believe we have been doing a lot to see what we can do to get those students back. That's why this Engagement Center came about,” Hoffman said. In most cases, Hoffman says life gets in the way for students, and it got worse after COVID. She said some students had to leave school to work full-time and help their families. Others had children or moved away.
