When asked to define Poly in one word, Zuva K-P ’28 said, “Amazing.” Zuva has been attending Poly since sixth grade and shared three of his favorite parts of Poly. First, was the classes. “I loved history my whole life and this year my teacher is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. They do a very good job relating to the students; every time we are in class we have a check-in before we get to doing the hard work. I’ve loved everything that we learned in the class, but my favorite thing I have worked on was an essay about Supreme Court cases. We had to choose a case and explain which amendment of the Constitution was the focus of the case. Second, is the sports at Poly. “I play baseball, flag football, basketball, and soccer, but my favorite is baseball and I’m going to play on the team here in the spring. In five years I want to play varsity baseball at Poly and I’m going to put in all the work for that.” Lastly, Zuva mentioned that the absolute best part about Poly is its community. “Everybody that I’ve met here has been really nice, all the staff members and faculty, and the students. Everybody is just really thoughtful. Poly has Blue Devil Night and Homecoming (events including art performances, activities for all ages, and sports for anyone from the Poly community to enjoy on Poly’s campus) and those are really good for community building.”
