Welcome, Hilburt the Hawk! Plus General Membership Meeting this Thursday and more
Hawk Talk - Hilburn Hawk Mascot

The Hawk vote is in, and students and staff have chosen the new name for our Hawk mascot! Welcome HILBURT!

Hawk Mascot has a name!


Thank you to our hundreds of students and staff who voted for our new Hawk mascot name as part of our 25th Anniversary celebration! Meet Hilburt!

 

Anniversary mural and keychains


This fall, watch for a new Hawksome 25th Anniversary mural outside the cafeteria, designed by art teacher Ms. Cleveland. We're excited to see a blank wall transformed into awesome art.

Students will also receive a glow in the dark 25th Anniversary keychain, courtesy of PTA!

Questions about the anniversary? Contact Anniversary Committee Co-Chairs Dawn Vaughan and Catie Burnette.
Thank you to all our Hawk volunteers who have filled in for Hilburt this past year in the new mascot costume from PTA!
