HawksCenter Student Life

Students (Middle and High!), every first and third Tuesday, HawksCenter, SkyView’s Student Life Newsletter, is shared with middle and high school students, families, and staff—and we want you to help create it!

HawksCenter showcases student voices, creativity, talent, and everything happening across SkyView. And you don’t have to be a writer to contribute.

You can share class projects, artwork, photography, journalism pieces, Student Council or NHS updates, club highlights, sports content, and more.

If you created it and it helps tell the story of student life at SkyView, we want to see it.

Ready to be featured?

Submit your work here for a chance to appear in an upcoming HawksCenter!

Not every submission will appear right away, but we’ll review everything you send.

This is your school. Your perspective. Your work. Help us tell the story.

Seniors had a great time watching the sunrise together and then painting their personal parking spaces!

Our seniors spent Saturday morning personalizing their specially paid-for senior parking spots. Aren't they beautifully creative?!

These spots have been paid for and are therefore not available for parking by the rest of the SVA Community at any time during the school day. When you visit SkyView, please park in one of our many designated visitor spots. Thank you for helping honor our class of 2027!

Beautiful artwork by Senior Jenna Montgomery was featured at this year's South Glenn Chalk Art Festival. Way to go!

11th and 12th-grade students have the opportunity to visit local colleges during the school day. Each trip includes morning departure from SVA, a campus tour, an admissions presentation, lunch, and return transportation to SVA. There is no cost to participate, though students must either bring a sack lunch or money to purchase one. Specific details will be provided on each permission slip.

We have 13 spots for each visit. Seniors can register in SchooLinks in the events tab then stop by the office for a permission slip. Juniors - you will register in the office when you pick up a permission slip.

Returning your permission slip secures your spot on the bus!

Questions can be directed to Mrs. Hayes.

High School Students, may I have your attention, please? Do you need your CPR Certification?

On October 5th, Ms. Bishop is offering an Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED class at SVA.

This class is being offered during a remote day in the afternoon so that you won't miss any classes. But it is technically during the school day.

There is an additional fee of $50.00 for the class. There is also an online portion that must be completed before 10/5.

If you are interested, please reach out to Ms. Bishop.

Thank you in advance for wanting to save lives.

Something incredible is happening in Sra. Lobb’s Spanish classes! Our middle schoolers have officially partnered with students at Southern Cross School and Colegio Bicentenario in Santiago, Chile, through the secure global network ePals to launch an exciting dual-language exchange.

The Chilean students are practicing their English by writing to our students first, and then our Spanish students are building their language skills by responding in Spanish! Through these letters, students will compare teenage life across continents, discover shared passions, and learn about daily life in South America.

To prepare for their first batch of mail arriving, Sra. Lobb hosted a special Culture Friday to help students explore Chilean traditions, geography, and lifestyle. Projects like this bring language to life, foster global empathy, and might even build friendships that last a lifetime.

Mrs. Vitulli's 7th-grade Drama students started the fall semester by studying Japanese Kabuki Theater. Students created a costume design and applied their own Kumadori-style makeup during class. Cloth face prints are a traditional souvenir of Kabuki Theater.

Mrs. Vitulli's 8th-grade Drama students visited the elementary school last week to present their Reader's Theater performances. The 8th-grade performers were working on developing fun character voices and incorporating audience participation into their stories. Stories included Horton Hears a Who, Chrysanthemum, Peppa Pig, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Even Deputy Walker stopped by to watch!
