To Our Fellow Jackrabbits:
We are so grateful to have spent the last four years here at Poly. We could not have asked for a more welcoming and diverse group of people to call our peers and mentors. The school is such a great environment to be a part of, one where school spirit and kindness are found in abundance. Walk around the school and you will see this manifested in all of the students. Even when we had to cope with unfortunate events this year, we bonded and grew closer amid these tragedies. The emphasis on community and camaraderie is one of the many things that make this school such a remarkable institution: it has shown us that Poly is really a family.
As seniors, we can confidently reaffirm the notion that Poly is the Home of Scholars and Champions. We have worked on this newspaper for the past three years, and we can say that Poly consistently molds its students into educated and responsible individuals. We have written articles about Poly students competing in academic and athletic events, winning various scholarships, and receiving widespread recognition for their achievements. We have witnessed Jackrabbits claiming not only league titles, but also state records and national rankings. However, we have come to realize that calling Poly the Home of Scholars and Champions is limiting; the school is home to a multi-talented student body in all disciplines.
We want to thank our classmates for such a great experience. We would also like to thank all our teachers and counselors for guiding us along the turbulent journey of high school. Thank you to the fabulous High Life staff and our new advisor, Mr. Autz, for working hard to keep the High Life alive. We only wish the best for next year’s High Life staff, who will work hard to commemorate the 100 years of the newspaper’s existence. We are expecting great things with the guidance and leadership of the new Editors-in-Chief: Cooper Bahr, Andrea Garcia, and CJ Salapare.
Lastly, we are extremely happy with how the newspaper has turned out this year. We have succeeded in upholding our duties as journalists: to document the school’s history and inform the student body. With our new website up and running, the newspaper has reached a wider audience and that fills us with a sense of pride. We sparked debate over important issues and we appreciated everyone who shared their own opinions with us. We hope to see all of you continue Poly’s storied legacy. Thank you for giving us such a great school to call our alma mater.
Sam & Amara
