(Paramus,
NJ—February 23, 2017) High Tech sophomore Diana Concepcion of North Bergen, who
won this year’s Poetry Out Loud schoolwide
competition, represented High Tech at the Poetry Out Loud Region 6 Competition, held at the Anna Marie Ciccone Theatre at Bergen Community College, announced Dr. Joseph
Giammarella, Principal of High Tech High School.
Concepcion competed against students from all across Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic
counties. She recited Christina Rossetti’s
“Amor Mundi” and “When You Are Old” by William Butler Yeats, the same poems
that she had recited in the schoolwide competition held at High Tech.
“Although
Diana didn’t advance to the final round,” says Joan Marie Bellotti, High Tech
moderator for the competition,
“her performance was exemplary and we are all very proud of her.”
This
year marks the 12th anniversary of Poetry Out Loud.
