Hawk News 4/25/2025

Just 32 days left until graduation! We're down to our final STAAR EOC exam, with our Algebra I students set to test on Tuesday, April 29th.

This weekend, our UIL Academic team is headed to College Station, aiming to earn a spot at the state competition in Austin—best of luck to them!

In athletics, softball takes on Bastrop in a playoff showdown, while baseball faces Eastview before making their own playoff push.

And we’re proud to announce that sophomores Morgan Nelsen and Micah Carter will represent us at the 5A State Track Meet next Friday morning! Morgan will compete in the 3200m, and Micah will go for gold in the High Jump. They are the only athletes from all of Pflugerville ISD to qualify—an incredible achievement!

Keep showing up to school, this is not the time of year to stay home, plenty of that is coming up in summer. Have a great weekend!

The Anonymous Alerts is an anti-bullying and safety app reporting system that helps combat bullying and other negative activity in schools by empowering students to speak up. Social and peer pressure are some of the hardest obstacles for students to overcome. Students or parents can submit reports such as bullying, cyber bullying, depression, dating violence, drug or alcohol use, threats against the school, weapons on campus, and more.

The system allows for 1-way or 2-way anonymous encrypted communications between the submitters (students, parents, or community members) and District administration and/or school staff. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.

We are changing photo companies for senior portraits and underclassmen pictures next year to Photo Texas. This change will include on campus senior portraits during the school day next fall. If you want to schedule an appointment at the studio, you can. Information will be coming soon about that. Our former company, Cady, has been sending out info about scheduling senior portraits. You do not need to schedule with them unless you want to use them for personal portraits. Sorry for any confusion on that.
