Long-time Poly volunteer, Howard “Toby” Henson, will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame for his 15 years of dedicated service to Poly and his lasting impact on our school community.
The event is currently at capacity, as we have prioritized the presence of our inductees and their families. We invite our alumni and community members to view this historic event via livestream at 100 AM EST.
Join the ceremony here.
We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Michael Alston ’75 and the Class of 1975 for generously providing the professional livestream.
We look forward to celebrating this moment with the Poly community.
