The Hawk-Eye is comprised of student journalists from the PR Writing/Journalism class at Hiawatha High School. The make-up of the staff changes from year-to-year and is led by teacher/adviser Mrs. Libby Dean.
In addition to learning and practicing journalistic writing, the staff creates a monthly publication called Hawk Talks, contributes writing to the Hiawatha World, and participates in various writing contests, including KSPA's regional and state contests.
The Hawk-Eye staff strives to achieve the following:
To produce the most relevant news we can for our school and community.
To seek content that will not only be of interest to readers, but will also impact them in a way that will provoke discussion.
To provide and promote honest and impartial news and information.
To develop top-quality, professional, and successful journalists.
