Poly students competed very well at this year’s Science and Engineering Fair on February 11, where they faced students
from other high schools and districts. Poly took 10 of the 27 available gold, silver, and bronze medals in various categories of specific scientific fields. In the Applied Mechanics and Engineering as well as the Earth and Planetary category, all of the medalists represented Poly. Poly students won medals in five other categories adding to the ten medal total. The gold and silver medalists will move on to the Inland Empire competition this April.
