Principal's Message - October 24, 2025
Hello Hawk Families,
A huge thank you to the PTSO for organizing the Senior Bonfire! It was a fantastic evening for our seniors—full of laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories. We’re incredibly grateful to the PTSO and all the volunteers who made this special event possible.
On Tuesday, many of our students completed the PSAT. We’re hopeful that several will qualify as National Merit Finalists—best of luck to all who participated!
Tonight is the highly anticipated East vs. West Football Game! At this point, we do not expect walk-up tickets to be available, so please purchase your tickets online before arriving to ensure you don’t miss out. Let’s pack the stands, show our East Pride, and make it a night to remember!
We’re incredibly proud of our amazing band for making the trip to Indy and heading back home tonight just in time to perform during halftime at tonight’s game! Their dedication and energy are unmatched. After the performance, they’ll be heading right back to Indy to compete in the Super Regional—let’s give them a huge show of support and wish them the best of luck this weekend!
Good luck to our Girls Volleyball team as they compete in the OHSAA District Finals tomorrow at noon. We’re proud of your hard work and cheering you on all the way!
Next Wednesday, Butler Tech will be visiting to speak with our sophomores about future programming and the exciting opportunities they offer. We’re looking forward to helping our students explore their paths forward.
The second quarter is officially underway, and we’re looking forward to a strong finish to the first semester as our students continue to grow and thrive.
Have a great weekend and Go Hawks!
Matt MacFarlane
