Poetry under the spotlight, and María Mercedes Méndez ’27 owned the moment.
With a powerful performance at the first Poetry Out Loud semifinal, she earned her place in the Puerto Rico Finals. Congratulations, María Mercedes.
We couldn’t be prouder of the poise, passion, and presence she brings to the stage. Her voice reflects the confidence and artistry that define our students when they’re empowered to express themselves fully.
Next stop: Teatro Francisco Arriví on MAR 13 at 9 am, where she’ll compete for the opportunity to represent Puerto Rico at the National Finals in Washington, D.C. Let’s cheer María Mercedes all the way.
