Glacier High School will again be participating in Poetry Out Loud this year. This nation-wide contest has been going on since 2006 and provides students with the opportunity to study, memorize, and perform some of the most influential and timeless poems of the English language and by doing so they are immersed in powerful expression and profound ideas. In the past, Glacier has had students progress through contest levels at our school, county, and onto the state competition. Our school-level competition will be held at the Oakhurst campus on Wednesday, November 18 and the student that moves on will take part in the Madera county competition at Yosemite High School on Saturday, January 23, 2016.
