Happy New Year, Poinciana! Here’s to a bright and happy 2022 – New Year, New Possibilities. Students at Poinciana High School have the opportunity to gain real life training as well as employment experience through the student-led Addition Financial Branch on the school’s campus. Many of these student tellers are offered employment opportunities with Addition Financial right after graduation.
