May 2014

The Hebron High School Class of 2014 will be making their final school day entrance into Hebron High School on Thursday, June 5th. Due to the abundance of snow days we encountered this year, commencement is being held the evening of the last day of school. The seniors this year are required to go to their last day of classes in order to get their diplomas. As always, there were a lot of decisions made by this years graduating class about the specifics of their ceremony. The class flower this year is the Daisy. Instead of the traditional red gowns that Hebron girls have worn for years, the class has the girls wearing white while the boys wear red. The guest speaker at this years’ graduation ceremony will be English teacher Mr. Jared Grigsby, and the quote decided on by the class is attributed to Arthur C. Clarke, who said, “The only way to discover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond them into the impossible.”
It will be bittersweet seeing the 2014 class leave. We wish them the very best, wherever life takes them after high school.

Recently the Hebron Lady Hawks beat South Central in the first round of the PCC tournament with an amazing score of 21-6. That win leads the Hawks into the championship game against the Boone Grove Wolves. It was a tight game with no score for the first 5 inning, then Boone managed to score and they took the win and the PCC title with a final score 0-1. May 21, 2014 the Hawks got an amazing win against the KV Kougars. Hebron won 8-4. Next week the Hawks will be playing Bishop Noel in the first round of sectionals on Wednesday, May 28.

June 5, 2014 is our last day of school and the students will be released at 1:35. This is the makeup day from the last snow day we had. Which one, you ask? Well, we lost track, there were so many… (March 12)

Hawks Baseball

As the weather heats up so do the Hebron Hawks. The Hawks baseball team has a record of 15-8 so far in this 2014 season. Hebron was on a four game winning streak after defeating Tri-Central (22-1), Oregon-Davis (12-2), Rensselaer (12-3), and South Central (14-5). The four game winning streak was snapped Saturday after a loss to Whiting. The Hawks started another winning streak of two games after the loss by defeating Hammond Morton and Lowell. The two game winning run ended due to a Griffith loss.
The Hawks had their first game of the PCC Tournament on Wednesday, May 21 in a matchup against the Boone Grove Wolves. Hebron came up on top by a score of 5-3. With the win over the Wolves, the Hawks advance to go up against the Washington Township Senators on Friday, May 23 in the PCC Tournament semifinals.
The IHSAA Baseball Sectional Pairings were released and the Hawks were put up against the Boone Grove Wolves in the first round of sectionals on Wednesday, May 29. This is will be the third time in the 2014 baseball season that Hebron and Boone Grove will go head to head. We hope to see all you fans come out and support the Hawks at Oil City Stadium in Whiting for the sectional games.
Thank you to all the fans that have come out to support the Hawks baseball team this season. You have all been a great crowd to have at the games and the team appreciates your support.

Track and Field

The Hebron Lady Track Team ran their Sectionals on May 20th. The team itself did not qualify but some of the athletes did qualify. Sophomore Sarah Benjamin qualified for the 2 mile. Freshman Danielle Roeske and Junior Kelly Steffan qualified for dicus and shot, respectively. Freshman Carli Sowonik claimed the Sectional Champion title for pole vault. The 4x4 team of Carli Sowonik, Liz Fox, Sydney Mars, and Katie Clemens qualified for regionals as well. Regionals will be on Tuesday May 27th at Chesterton High School. Hope to see you come out and support our girls track!
The Hebron Boys took Round Robin and PCC for the second time in fifteen years. Blake Wallace led the Hawks to victory as he took first in the 100 meter dash, second in the long jump, third in the 200 meter dash. Mathew Lyons helped with a third place finish in the 110 hurdles and a second in the 300 hurdles. Austin Riese won the pole vault giving the team a boost in points. Brad Blank blew away competitors in the high jump and 400 meter dash. The freshmen of the team also stepped up with Scott Crawley winning the 800 and Joe McNeill winning the 2 mile. The boys left the meet as champions and with motivation for the post season.

But wait, there’s more….

Guidance/Scholarships $$$$$$$$$$

The Hawk’s News

Parents of seniors and seniors, if you are looking for college money, we have some great sources for you and they’re as close as your local high school guidance office! The following is just a sample of some of the scholarships available right now and the deadlines for submission:
Great Clips Scholarship Program June 1, 2014
Braces For All Ages June 2, 2014
Also, check out studentscholarships.org, Indiana's leading source for finding scholarship money. It's a search engine that sends you scholarships that match your profile. Visit the guidance office to check out some of the scholarships they have to offer.

We are now in the month of May and that means that the nice, warm weather will be coming back to stay. With the warm weather we all need a refresher about our school dress code. All tops must be covering the shoulders of the student. If the top has shoulder straps, the straps must be three fingers wide. The shorts and skirts of the student must have the appropriate length. The lengths we are looking for in a student’s bottoms are to the fingertips when your arms are fully extended at your sides. Inappropriate tightness of clothing is also not allowed. Another thing that comes to mind when the weather gets warmer is holes in jeans/shorts. There is to be no tears in legwear above the knees. We hope you keep these rules in mind in the morning before you come to school, so there won’t be a need to call home for a more appropriate replacement!

We collected water to help supply the water stations the day of the walk from the school community. Donations came from students, teachers, the Hebron Chapter of Business Professionals of America, and Chartwells.

Dress Code Reminder

From the Hebron Public Library...
Our Summer Reading Program will be kicking into gear just as school is ending, and we'd love to get more teens involved in our program. Our theme this year is Spark A Reaction, and we have some great prizes for teens who participate in our Online Summer Reading, as well as a number of great events lined up, including: Myth busters; Robots & Robotics; The Amazing Race: Fandom Worlds Collide; DIY Spa Science; and more. We also have a need for more teen volunteers for our program, which is an excellent way to get job experience and hours for NHS. For more information, please see the attached flyer (on the next page of this publication).

Keep our current staff and replace those that may leave
Pay our operating costs that keep going up each year while funding is going down
