Highlighting our youth poets: Howard Road Academy

NOTE: Each week, we are featuring a school's performance from the 14th Annual Poetry Slam!. During the two-night culminating event of the fall season, each of the 27 schools DC SCORES serves had the opportunity to perform original poems and songs in front of their peers, families and community members. 

On the second night of the Slam! at the brand-new H.D. Woodson High School, Howard Road Academy -- always in performance mode and dressed in white costumes with face paint -- encouraged audience participation as the students rhymed about studying hard, meeting the challenge, and getting all A's.

Watch HRA's performance and be inspired!
