October 30, 2019
October has arrived yet again, bringing with it the familiar dreary weather and increasing pace of the school year. As assignments begin to pile up, the sun sets ever earlier and temperatures grow more chill, it is easy to become lost in the rat race and ultimately discouraged. However, in light of this, our life here at ...

It all began in seventh grade, walking through the doors of Brier Terrace Middle School on that somewhat cloudy day.

Each year, the typical letter from the editor for the back-to-school edition of the Hawkeye discusses change. However, this year is a time to reflect on how we’ve changed. This is the 60th anniversary of MTHS. As we embark on the journey of our 2019-2020 school year, we associate the 2020 yea...
New year, new expression

September 12, 2019
With each new school year comes a predictable cycle, at least for those of us who are returning to the now familiar high school routine. For at least a quarter of MTHS students, though, the new school year marks a time of seemingly immense change. The move into high school can seem intimidating and exhil...

November is a glorious month to enjoy family, turkeys, the leaves changing color; the spring season arrives in April along with, of course, midterm exams.

By Nina Otebele, Outreach Manager
April 10, 2019
Our society tends to portray immigration in a negative light. We hear all the time on the news and from our own president about how dangerous undocumented immigrants are and how we need to build a wall to keep them out. The fact that all this is happening is ridiculous. There isn’t a reason to fear ...
