have succeeded and will
continue to succeed and
overcome the obstacles
that might appear in their
path.
Hawkeye View urges the

than letting it take advantage of you.

the seniors by highlighting
their memories at HEHS in
this Senior Issue while also
giving the underclassmen a
sneak peek at the fun and
enjoyment that comes with

Greatest accomplishment:
Being on this newspaper.
Favorite class and why: AP
Biology. Mr. Meador tells the
best stories (If you ever see
him in the hall, ask him about
the “weed story”. He’ll know
what you’re talking about).
Most challenging course
and why: AP Spanish. The
teacher doesn’t know how to
talk in English.
Future plans: To go to college
and then maybe, if I’ve feeling
it, attend medical school.
Most memorable teacher
and why: Ms. Katovich because not only does she make
her class very entertaining
through her wacky personality, but she truly cares and
wants the best for each of her
students.
Things you will miss most
about HEHS: Suz, Jen, Derek, Sean, Mark, and all the
other great teachers.
Motivation for academic excellence: As much as I love
Taco Bell, I don’t think I’d be
a good employee there.

Debate Team (3 years) – Captain; Math Team (4 years);
Scholastic Bowl (4 years);
N.H.S. (3 years) – Communications Officer; Science

National Merit Finalist; National AP Scholar; Daily
Herald Academic Team Honorable Mention; D211 Board
of Education Award of Excellence; Academic Scholar
By far, getting into Penn.
Beating Colton in Super
Smash Bros.
Biology (minus the lab reports) because we learn about
how things live and breathe
(breathing is more complicated than you think).
and why: AP World History
has been the hardest class be-
cause we were the first freshman class to take it so everyone, including Mr. Brown,
was new to the course.
However, Browny-ji took us
through it.
Future plans: Study finance
at the Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania.
Take on Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
and why: Fetherling is one
of the best teachers I have
had.She absolutely loves
teaching Bio which makes
the class even more enjoyable. Mrs. Katovich is an
AP Chem god, she has such
a distinct personality, that
makes her one of the most
memorable teachers.
about HEHS: Friends and
teachers
Motivation for academic
excellence: I want to leave a
lasting impact on the world,
ideally for the better.
(and years): President of the
National Honor Society (11,
12), Captain of Student Congress Debate (9, 10, 11, 12),
Girls’ Tennis (10, 11, 12), Orchestra (9, 10), Global Awareness and Relief Organization
(11, 12), PALS HOPE (9),
Yearbook Club (9), Newspaper Club (11), Bharatanatyam
(four years)
AP Scholar with Distinction,
Athletic Scholar, National
Spanish Honor Society, Spir-
it of the Hawk, Illinois State
Scholar.
When NHS raised enough to
bring clean water to seventytwo people.
Favorite class and why: I
am the nerd that just liked all
of school.
and why: AP World History
was just a lot of confusion. It
was the first AP class for both
Mr. Brown and us. Thankfully, we made it through alive
with Mr. Brown’s motiva-
tional talks.
Future plans: This fall, I
will be attending Georgetown University in Washington D.C. I’m going to be
studying in the Walsh School
of Foreign Service.
and why: Shout out to Ms.
Katovich, Mr. Mallon, Mr.
Brown, and Mrs. Jenkins
about HEHS: I’m also going to miss seeing my best
friends every single day –
even Solome Haile after she
broke my heart.
excellence: My parents are immigrants,
so I work hard to
ensure that the sacrifices they make and
continue to make
are worthwhile. In
addition, it’s only
fair that I put in my
share after seeing
the great lengths my
teachers travel to ensure my success.
(and years): Scholastic Bowl
(4), Forensics (3), Orchestra
(1), Tennis (1), NHS (2), Math
Tutoring (1), Newspaper (2),
French Club (1)
A Honor Roll, Academic
Scholar, Miscellaneous Forensics Competition Awards, AP
Scholar with Distinction
Greatest Accomplishment:
Getting the highest score,
103%, on the French Revolution AP Euro test out of all
three classes.
Chemistry was enthralling.
Every day was full of learning
and excitement, although I still
pass on the rushed craziness of
finishing a lab.
Most challenging course and
why: AP Chemistry and AP
Euro are two of the most challenging classes I took.
Future plans: I plan to go to
Northwestern University, to
study Cognitive Science and
Biology and then becoming a
plastic surgeon later in life.
Most memorable teacher and
why: Ms.Katovich is one of
the most awesome, inspiring,
intelligent teachers I have ever
had. I enjoyed every minute of
her class.
about HEHS: Orange. Also,
all of my hooligan friends, and
more people who made everyday just a bit more fun.
Motivation for academic excellence: Also, I plan for the
future, and I know studying will
make my future a lot brighter,
sort of like a good detergent.

Activities and Offices held (and

Newspaper (3 years), Yearbook (3
years), FreshMentors (1 year)
Daily Herald Leadership Team
Honorable Mention Tennis Varsity
Letter AP Scholar with Distinction
French Honor Society Illinois State
Scholar
Greatest accomplishment: I’m
happy that I was able to accomplish
my goals of participating in two
sports for three years, participating
in clubs, volunteering outside of
school, working, getting accepted
to my top choice college, and keeping my grades up.
Favorite class and why: One was
freshman year geometry because it
was the first time where I truly felt
engaged to the material I was learning.
why: My most challenging course
was definitely Calc BC because it
took me a long time to understand
the important concepts behind
them.
Future plans: In the fall I will be
attending Duke University majoring in neuroscience and minoring
in psychology and/or Japanese. I
hope to learn a lot in college and
travel.
why: very much enjoyed Ms. Carroll’s, Mrs. Coakley’s, Mrs. Davey’s, Mr. Dowd’s, Mr. Mallon’s,
Mr. Mead’s, and Mr. Swanson’s
classes during my four years here.
They each had an element that
made me want to work extra hard
for them!
Things you will miss most about
HEHS: I will miss the warm, protective environment of high school
while still having the opportunity
to gain independence. I will miss
my friends and teachers, the publications office and taco salads on
Fridays.
Motivation for academic excellence: My parents always encouraged me to pursue whatever it was
I felt passionate about- whether it
be sports, music, academics- and
reminding me that there isn’t just
one set path towards success.

senior year and Track my junior year.
Winning the Indoor State 4x800 race.
Favorite class and why: Chemistry because I could visualize the
different particle interactions that occurred with my everyday activities.
Most challenging course and why:
Physics was always forcing me to
think things through many times over.
I had to beat it into my brain to get it.
Future plans: I plan on attending
Vanderbilt University and majoring
in Chemistry with a possible minor
in Physics. I hope to go into research
in the field of waterborne diseases
and return to Ethiopia and other third
world countries to help in this field.
why: Mr. Macnider has always been
someone to push me mentally and
physically. Those moments of feeling invincible were made because of
his and Mr. Ihms’ sacrifice and commitment to my success. Mr. Swanson
is another favorite that was the right
mix of hilarious dancing and awesome teaching. The weekly “Friday”
sing-alongs will always stay with me.
HEHS: I will surely miss the amazing teachers that were so dedicated to my success and my quirky
friends. I will also miss running
with my teammates and coaches
I will surely not miss Daniel Heydari because he is too awesome.
Motivation for academic excellence: Learning is truly a gift. Most
of the world cannot dream of the
amount of knowledge I have had
the ability to obtain. Those billions
without this opportunity compel me
to place education as a top priority.

pin for volunteering at St. Alexius Medical Center.
Greatest accomplishment: Balancing
my academics and activities
Favorite class and why: Sophomore
English...I had all of my friends in that
class and Mrs. Phillips was a great
teacher to have. She was very nice about
everything even if we joked around in
class.
Most challenging course and why: AP
Spanish because I didn’t take Spanish
as seriously as others throughout High
School. This made it difficult to follow
along with the listening and reading ac-
tivities.
Future plans: Going to University of
Illinios at Chicago for their Honors Program and majoring in Biochemistry. The
goal is to get on the pre-med track and
then hopefully get into a good medical
school to become a doctor.
Most memorable teacher and why:
Ms. Katovich because she really knew
how to make a classroom experience
enjoyable.
HEHS: I am going to miss the cookies.
Motivation for academic excellence:
I want to be someone my family can be
proud of.

state; winning indoor state
my senior year; winning my
last dual meet on my home
cross country course against
Palatine and Schaumburg;
being a part of the school-record 4x800 relay my sophomore year
Biology because it gave me a
meaningful glimpse into my
future career as a neurologist.
why: AP US History because
juggling chapters and chapters of reading was difficult
but definitely rewarding.
Future plans: I plan on attending Washington University in St. Louis, where I will
major in neuroscience with a
minor in psychology. I hope
to be a neurosurgeon with a
free clinic in Ethiopia.
and why: Mr. Macnider, Mr.
Ihms, and Mr. Swanson were
all a huge part of my growth
in my life.
about HEHS: I will miss
seeing friends everyday, running with my teammates, and
seeing my favorite teachers.
Motivation for academic excellence: Being an immigrant
from Ethiopia, hard-work and
excellence were standards I

Badminton (1st Place Featherfest, 2nd Place East Aurora Tournament, 3rd Place

I don’t think I have achieved
anything great yet. If I had
to pick, I guess it would
be getting into some really
awesome colleges including
my dream school.
Favorite class and why:
AP Chemistry because I got
to have one of my favorite
teachers again and be in a
class with friends. It was a
fun class that I looked forward to everyday.
Most
challenging course and
why: Calc BC because I just
didn’t get it.
Future plans: I plan on going to UCLA and living in
sunny Southern California
for the next four years. I’m
going in with an undeclared
major and we’ll see where it
goes from there.
and why:I’ve had a lot of
memorable teachers. One
of them is definitely Ms.
Katovich because she’s just
amazing. My other memorable teacher is Mr. Brown. He
is a wonderful teacher and
connects with his students,
making you feel that you’re
important and you matter.
Both, Ms. Katovich and Mr.
Brown, care about their students inside and outside of
the classroom.
about HEHS: I’m going to
miss the teachers I devel-
oped a bond with. I’m going
to miss walking in the halls
and pushing through the
traffic. I’m going to miss
my friends who I get to see
everyday for four years.
I’m going to miss the comfort of high school.
excellence: Freshman year,
seeing the wall of academic
scholars and thinking I want
to be up there too. My family, my parents, who always
told me I could do anything
I wanted and for instilling
me to work hard from an
early age.

state competition
Gaining acceptance into the
President’s Awards Program
at the University of Illinois at
Chicago
Biology because it was a really
smooth way to end the day for
me. Oh, and Mrs. Fetherling
was sometimes nice too.
why: AP Biology just because
the workload would sometimes become overwhelming
and there was often a lot of information I needed to learn in
a short amount of time, which
added to the pressure.
Future plans: I plan to follow
a Pre-Med track at UIC and
later hope to gain entrance into
medical school. If that doesn’t
work out, then I’ll just follow
my backup career of becoming
a Late-Night talk show host.
why: They’re all too equally
phenomenal to pick just one.
about HEHS: I will miss
getting into trouble with my
friends everyday, having hilarious and interesting conversations at lunch, and most of
all I will miss the cookies.
excellence: I have a natural
desire to learn and grow as
a human being and to rise to
the challenge of every course
I take.

Most Memorable Experience:
My sophomore musical was
Bye Bye Birdie. I was running
a scene with a fellow actress in
front of the whole cast and crew
including the directors. The
scene consisted of us ranting
about how stupid and horrible
men are. I must have experienced a Freudian slip because I
flubbed a line. I was supposed
to say “egotistical” but, instead,
out came - in front of everyone “ego-testicle”... Needless to say,
I was mortified and will never
live it down.

an experience I will forever carry
with me.
Future Plans: I’m attending

Most Memorable Teachers: Dr.

life/school: Playing volleyball

recognize the whole 2014 girls
volleyball team because we
worked hard all season and each
and every one of us grew as

everything I do. Coach Macnider
- he’s very smart and athletic. I like
hearing him talk about strategies for
running and good advice for me and
he taught me to “fake it til I make
it.” Coach Andersen - He’s a very
tough man, but having him support
me with tough love and pushing me
with lifting really helped me. He’s a
great role model.
Future plans: I am going to the
University of Wisconsin- Madison. I
will be a part of the Women’s Track

have achieved so much due to all of
his time and dedication to the team
and myself. He helped me through
so much within the past four years,
and I am so thankful to have had the
time I did working with him. Mr.
Krzankowski - I was lucky to have
such an amazing coach for three
years in bowling. Mr. Arce - He was
a very influential coach and really
taught me a lot about swimming and
water polo while still making it fun.
Future plans: I plan on
attending Western Illinois
University and major in Law
Enforcement with a minor in
Forensic science. I want to
become a police officer and
someday a homicide detective

part of my life during high
school and now I just want to
take a break and focus on my
career. I will be doing intramurals and clubs at school, and
Future plans: I am playing volleyball at Harper College for two
years then going off to another
college to hopefully continue to
play volleyball.

been a father figure to me. I am
eternally grateful for the advice, talks
and just support he’s provided over
the past few years. Mrs. Davey - she
has been the tough love I desperately
needed. Mrs. Davey showed me that
I can be the silly girl I am but be mature at the same time. She deserves
so much credit to shaping the woman
