Senior advances to Poetry Out Loud regional competition
Congratulations to senior Zach Geiser who placed first in our school-wide Poetry Out Loud competition for his recitation of “Dream Song 14” by John Berryman. Zach will move on to the regional semi-finals for an opportunity to compete at the state level.
Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that sponsors a dynamic recitation competition for high schools across the country. This program helps students master public speaking skills and build self-confidence while learning more about classic and contemporary poetry.
Junior Ariana Yanez was the school-wide runner-up for her recitation of “Cartoon Physics, Part 1” by Nick Flynn. There was a four-way tie for third place among sophomore Amanda Braig, junior Julia Hart, senior Danny Dugan and senior Jake Klug.

For five unforgettable weeks this winter, the hallways of McNicholas High School echoed with new voices, new laughter, and a new language. Our school made history by hosting our first-ever exchange students from Las Nieves High School in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In doing so, we discovered something profound. Home is not just a place. It is a feeling created by open hearts and open doors.
