Welcome to HHS Theatre Slam Poetry
"I want to provide my students with another outlet to express whatever it is that they are going through, so I started the Slam Poetry Team."
Who Are We?
The Slam Poetry Team is a group of young artists not just reciting original poems, but utilizing their life experiences and theatrical education to bring their poems to life through performance.
Our Brave New Voices poets are featured in this article. See for yourself!
Below review a press release for our 2024 Championship Win at Brave New Voices! An HHS alum, HHS students, and other Houston Area students competed at the top level of Slam Poetry.

What Do We Do?
During meetings, poets will write, rehearse and prepare for public performances. Poets will also be chosen to perform in various events including the HHS Black History Show in February, the Talent Show, at A Night of Original Plays every year in May and to represent the HHS Slam Poetry Team at numerous competitions around Houston and even further. The Meta4 Houston team competed July 2024 in Washington, D.C. and held their title as Champion at Brave New Voices!
Below you can watch a few of our past poets competing with their original poems.
When & Where Do We Meet?
As a valuable member of the team, you will be expected to attend ALL poetry rehearsals from
