College Counseling

Making the Transition from Poly to College

The College Counseling program is an extension of Poly’s mission to develop the intellect, talents, and character of each student. The customized process provides students with opportunities for self-reflection, personal growth, and skills development.

The program is characterized by the accessibility of the counseling staff. With almost 65 years of combined experience, Poly’s College Counseling staff has worked in administration, teaching, counseling, admissions, and college counseling.

Mission Statement

The college counseling process requires authenticity as students are encouraged to build skills that will serve them during their college years and throughout their lives. A successful college process requires a willingness to build self-knowledge, an openness to discover new options, and an ability to work thoughtfully toward an uncertain outcome.
