Hawk News 5/8/2026

The other day, I walked outside and saw a hawk perched on my fence. It made me stop and think, “How lucky are we to be Hawks?”

This year has certainly had its ups and downs, but being a Hawk means we know how to rise quickly, support one another, and keep moving forward. As I reflect on this school year, it’s incredible to see how much everyone has grown. Many of you started the year finding your place in the Hawk’s nest, and now the Class of 2026 is ready to soar.

Congratulations to both our baseball and softball teams on winning Game 1 of their playoff series. Morgan Nelsen and Sydney Grimes are heading to UIL State Track on May 15, way to go! We are down to just nine days left in the school year, so make every day count and continue showing up ready to finish strong.
