Poly Celebrates the Class of 2026!

From Senior Sunrise to Sunset, Outdoor Ed on the Kern River to Chalk Day, Acorns to Oak Trees, and countless moments in between, it has been a joy to honor the Class of 2026 throughout their final year at Poly. Our graduates were celebrated with culminating events such as Senior Dinner, Prom, Senior Sports Awards, Honors Day, Commencement, and Grad Night. Check out the livestream of Honors Day and Commencement and capture a glimpse of our traditional bagpipe processional, student speakers, musical presentations, and more.

Also, the Class of 2026 concluded the college admission season with opportunities that reflect their diverse interests, hard work, talents, and aspirations. This year, seniors submitted applications to just over 180 institutions and earned more than 400 admission offers from 154 colleges and universities across the United States and around the world. 

Graduates of the class will enroll at 53 different institutions, including highly selective universities, leading liberal arts colleges, major public research universities, specialized arts programs, and top international institutions. Most importantly, the outcomes reflect a class that approached the college process thoughtfully and found colleges that align with their academic interests and future goals.

We couldn’t be prouder of the Class of 2026, and greatly enjoyed celebrating their accomplishments. We congratulate our graduating students and look forward to following their continued success in the years ahead!
