Claude Mumbere Makes it to the Finals!


We've been in Washington D.C. since Sunday morning and had quite a busy schedule. Claude performed all three of his poems during the semifinal round yesterday morning and made it to the National Poetry Out Loud Finals! He earned $1000 last night for himself and $500 of poetry books for BHS. We are so proud of Claude!

Claude will compete alongside eight other state champions in the finals tonight from 7-9:15pm. You can watch live here:
