LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: ARROWHEAD STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF THIS IS OUR YEAR! Gianna DiPaolo BY GIANNA DIPAOLO It’s finally the time where we can walk with our heads held high because we’re the COPY EDITOR oldest in the school. Although we’re about two months into school, the senior year hype Jess Kappeler is still alive. The student section couldn’t be more fun, we just finished our last home- coming, and early action for college is about to expire. We have a lot to figure out this PHOTO EDITOR year, but we should probably make this the best year to remember. (Que “We’re All in Bri Mikeska This Together”). Being as this is our last ever year of high school, I think that we should go out with a SPORTS EDITORS bang. No more petty drama or looking back wishing we did things differently- this is the Justin Hawkins year that we put that all to the side and come together. We have one year before we part Sean Nolan our ways and start our lives, so I think we should give North Hills something to reminisce on. WEBSITE EDITOR It is our responsibility now to leave this school in better shape than we found it. Rebekah Froelich Alumni are coming back saying, “this school is going downhill,” but we are going to be the class that saves it. Although it’ll be hard, I think the Class of ‘19 can do it. OPINIONS EDITOR In all fairness, I’m a pretty cliche person, but I know I’m right. We’ve had so many Jake Yencik scandals and memories throughout the past four years that I think improving the classes below us will be an experience- to say the least. When alumni come back, they’re going to FEATURES EDITOR be amazed by how well we handled the new freshman situation and how much we Sarah Hershberger improved the school. The Class of ‘19 will go down in history as the class that put the lower classmen in the right direction. ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Additionally, we cannot let the senior hype die. The Student Section is doing a Darby Vojtko fabulous job of keeping spirits high, but after football season ends we all have to pitch in to make this a fun year. Participating in things such as Red Ribbon Week, Thon, and PUBLIC RELATIONS Senior Week is crucial to make this year one to remember. With seniors engaging, we’re Leslie Rosanski sure to have a fun last year ahead of us. All in all, this is our year, Class of ‘19, and it will be one for the record books!

Even now, he plays in the notorious before-school basketball games the teachers have, which he calls “one step below the NBA.” Before getting hired at North Hills, he worked at Sunrise School in Monroeville. Very different from our school, the students ranged in age from 5 to 21 years old. He taught math and learning support and ran all the student events such as dances or parades. The school was very involved in the communi- ty, specializing in internships and partnerships. Mr. King also coached the basketball team there, which he said was a lot of fun. Outside of teaching, Mr. King enjoys spending time with his dog, Weego, and of course his Betta Fish, Stephen King. He also loves traveling, as he’s been throughout Eu- rope, Asia, North America, and Central America. An extra fun fact about Mr. King is that his dad is actually opening a restaurant in Bellevue called Revival on Lincoln. Go to www. revivalonlincoln.com and make a visit! When we asked Mr. King about his experience so far at North Hills, he said, “The kids are great, the staff is great, the administration is great.” Basically, he thinks it’s pretty great! Mr. King is already the Senior Class Sponsor Assistant with Ms. Abbott, but he’s eager to become more involved in the school’s activities and organizations, especially with the sports teams. Overall, Mr. King is a fantastic addition to our staff at North Hills. Next time you see him in the hallway, give him a friendly wave, or even ask to meet Stephen King. page 6 October 2018 Issue FEATURES Safety is a Priority: An Interview with our School Police CONDUCTED BY THE ARROWHEAD STAFF What are your safety concerns at our school? in Seneca Valley I was able to go straight into the As a school, North Hills is becoming increasingly ALL: The more everyone participates, the better academy and start working in 1988. cognisant of safety.
