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.

Check out this colorful artwork, which uses acrylic paint markers. The art was created by Riley Race, 9th grade.

High school American Sign Language teacher Lauren Davis had the opportunity to work in New York City with US Hunger and 9/11 Day of Service to pack over 4 million meals for the community.

From Ms. Davis: “Throughout the week, we worked aboard the aircraft carrier Intrepid, packaging rice, lentils, vegetables, and more. The goal was to transform a day of tragedy into a day of good and service. It was so special to see the community rally together 25 years later to commemorate this historic milestone and honor the day through service. This project resulted in 20 million meals completed nationwide!”
