Academies @ Roxborough Students in Philly Slam League

Roxborough is a part of the Philly Slam League led by English teacher, Rebecca Yacker.

The Philly Slam League (PSL) is a non-profit organization that hosts poetry teams from Philadelphia-area high schools in a five-month intellectual and artistic competition. Teams come together weekly at the Free Library of Philadelphia throughout the season to perform original poems in a three-round competition. PSL promotes networking, teamwork, school pride, writing, public speaking, and, most importantly, the growth of young people’s confidence.
