A competitive dancer while in high school, Polhill is now learning how to teach dancing to others, when she’s not in class. She wants to combine her education with her love for dancing to help people use dancing to improve their lives.
As part of the Gustafson Program, Polhill participates in community service projects throughout the school year. Earlier this year she volunteered at the Fox Valley Marathon. She plans to do future community service projects with the Kendall County Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS), a program that provides services for the homeless or those otherwise in need of services.
