“Poly gave me the foundation to engage with the world and the curiosity to appreciate its diversity. My journey with philanthropy actually began here—from making meals at Union Station in Middle School to clearing trails with the Outdoor Service Club and fundraising for Homeboy Industries with the Men’s Service League in the Upper School. Those early experiences taught me that giving our time and resources creates tangible change. Even a decade after graduation, Poly has never stopped feeling like ‘my’ school. That’s why I give back: to ensure the next generation of students can experience the same transformational opportunities.”
