I believe I meet the requirements. How do I apply to Poly?
Baltimore City public school students should contact their middle school guidance counselors to have their applications submitted by the December deadline. All other students may call 443-984-2000, menu items #3 and then #2, to ask questions and receive information.

I am currently attending another high school, but I would like to transfer to Poly next year. How do I apply?
Please call 443-984-2000, menu items #3 and then #2, to ask questions and receive information.

How can I sign up to "shadow" at Poly?
"Shadowing" provides the opportunity for eighth grade students who are interested in attending Poly to spend the day with a ninth or tenth grader as he/she goes through the daily schedule. "Shadows" need to bring a notebook, paper, pen and pencil, as well as lunch, lunch money, or lunch tickets. "Shadows" are expected to wear appropriate attire and be attentive, active participants in class. All students from Baltimore City Public Schools must register for "shadowing" with their middle school guidance counselor. All other students, and only those students, register by calling the Poly Guidance Office at 410-396-7030 or 7031, during October.

For further information, please contact the Poly Guidance Office
