AF JROTC Honors Anniversary of 9/11
To honor the anniversary of 9/11, Poly's AFJROTC cadets held a moment of silence for the nearly 3,000 men, women and children who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks 18 years ago. The cadets participated in a flag raising ceremony using a flag recently donated by LTC Kyle Leggs, Poly Class of '82. In what hopes to be an annual tradition, an appreciation breakfast was hosted for Baltimore City police officers and firefighters to say "thank you" for keeping the Poly community safe.  
Tie Breaker Challenge Starting Soon
Did you know that Poly and City are tied with an even number of wins in the ages old Poly/City football rivalry?
