  • Due to family problems I moved around a lot. Going to this school my sophomore first semester year was a joy. Everybody was Everybody. Yeah they had cliques (what school don't) but the kids just welcome you better than some of the schools I've been too. I've always been a loner, but I just jumped right into everything at Poly. I am glad I did go to this school. I wouldn't mind going back if I had the chance.
