Since September of 1915, the High Life has been a tradition at Poly. This school year, the newspaper is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
In January, the staff will complete several projects in order to commemorate this occassion. The first project is releasing a full-color commemorative issue looking back on the various events the High Life has covered.
Another project will be completed through the International Ambassadors program. For their project, co- Editors-in-Chief Crispin Jay Salapare and Andrea Garcia are digitally archiving 100 years’ worth of newspapers onto the website, polyhighlife.com. This project is a great leap in preserving
Poly’s rich history.
Every page needs to be
digitally scanned and uploaded by a specialist, which will cost
approximately $2,500.
Lastly, a new redesign of the
paper will be revealed in January. This will not only mark a milestone in the newspaper’s history, but also reflect its focus on delivering cutting-edge content in new, aesthetically appealing ways. In order to ensure these plans’ completion, the High Life need your support. Whether through
financial donations or words of encouragement, all forms of help are greatly appreciated,
As this is the paper’s centennial year, we are deeply interested in displaying your history. Send us your memories of your time at Poly to include in our January centennial issue. We are sure this generation will appreciate and learn a lot from them.
