Welcome to POLAHS...
an independent, tuition-free, public charter school. We take great pride in our rigorous academic program, small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and safe learning environment. We’re happy you’re here!
POLAHS' fifth graduation commencement is fast approaching! Nearly 70% of our 2013 graduates will be the first in their family to go to college, but many can't afford to take this important next step. You can help. Please support one of our motivated seniors by making a scholarship donation today.
Questbridge Full-Tuition Scholarships: Over 10,000 students apply annually. Roughly 300 are chosen. This year, POLAHS seniors earned THREE of those spots.
Jonathan Burne (POLAHS 2013; Williams College 2017) Jonathan attended two high schools before finding a home at POLAHS, where he says the small class sizes, counselors, and caring teachers inspired him. "When I enrolled at POLAHS in 11th grade, I started to see academics as an opportunity," he says.
Stephanie Anaya (POLAHS 2013; Yale University 2017) Stephanie has a 4.4 GPA and completed 12 Advanced Placement (AP) courses at POLAHS. Stephanie volunteers at Torrance Memorial Medical Center and is excited to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. This fall, she will move to Connecticut to attend Yale - an Ivy League University.
Shyonna Jones (POLAHS 2013; University of Virginia 2017) Shyonna is POLAHS' ASB Co-President. College wouldn’t have been possible without the QuestBridge scholarship, and she is grateful for the opportunity that will change her life.
The John Gogian Family Foundation awards POLAHS their Community Grant and sponsors a student for the Tall Ship summer 2013 program!
