About The Hawk Eye

The Hawk Eye is a student-produced newspaper which strives to represent the student voice.


We will aim to report all news relevant to Hebron High School and its student body without bias to race, religion or social creed. We will inform and entertain the Hebron High School community on current and/or important events and changes pertaining to the school community through accurate and factual reports, where information has been thoroughly gathered and verified through as many sources as possible. We will be accurate, fair and impartial in coverage of issues that affect the school community and will cover the total school population as effectively and accurately as possible (including various sports, clubs, classes and staff members).

All written works are produced by the journalism staff and should only be affiliated with the staff; they do not represent the views of the school as a whole.

All original materials are copyrighted. Some material, when noted, is courtesy of American Society of Editors/KRT campus high school newspaper service.

We encourage reader input via letters, guest columns and story ideas. Contact a staff member or fill out our contact form with any of these items. The editorial team reserves the right to edit letters for inappropriate content and space.

Questions or complaints concerning material published in the media should be made in writing to the editor-in-chief who will present the concern at the next scheduled staff meeting. Complaints, suggestions or coverage requests may be expressed in the contact form or dropped off in room 1315. 

The Hawk Eye is a member of Interscholastic League Press Conference, Texas Association of Journalism Educators, Association of Texas Photography Instructors and the Journalism Education Association.
