“I am finishing my first year in the PACE program, and I love it! Going into the program, I had some hesitations because Poly PACE has a reputation as not only rigorous but overwhelming. I was worried that it would take over my free time. Yet my experience has been completely different. The classes are much more interesting than in middle school, and the amount of work is very manageable. Poly is known as the “Home of Scholars and Champions,” and I truly have been able to combine academics and sports. I run both cross country and track and field, and I have six practices a week. I have enjoyed the team aspect of sports, and have met so many great people. I still am able to spend time with my family and with friends from Poly and from other high schools, and take part in out of school activities. Overall, Poly PACE has been a wonderful program that has made my quarantine experience so much more fun! Go Poly!”
