Self-paid courses are classes students can enroll in outside of the regular school day. These classes have many positives and negatives. In the FHPS school district, you must fill out a self-paid course approval form in the office before taking a self-paid class. This is vital as the course will not be put onto your transcript if you do not complete the form. This means you will not receive credit for your hard work! Also,…

The heritage of the Kentucky Derby precedes itself, regarded as one of the most prestigious equestrian events; thousands flock to Churchill Downs each May. Spectators don extravagant attire, as per Derby custom, of loud suits, ties, and incredibly voluptuous head ware. The entirety of the amounted race lasts two fleeting minutes as horses sprint around the 1.25-mile hippodrome. The jockeys and horses compete in preliminary races prior to the Kentucky Derby, dubbed “the road to…

What was it like when our school first opened? In 2004, students from Forest Hills Northern and Central branched off to join the newly formed Forest Hills Eastern. For the first few years, families were given a choice if they wanted to leave or not. Some found it hard to leave the school that they were used to. In Eastern’s first year, there was no senior class. Instead, they had a small junior class and…

As the Hawk Herald’s resident John Muir, I have quite a few opinions on Fair Trade and environmentally friendly brands and companies. I like to make sure that the majority of the clothing I purchase is Fair Trade Certified and either made with something recycled or sustainable sources. It’s kind of shocking how many companies don’t treat their employees or the environment correctly (looking at you, Shein), so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite…

Seniors, your time has come! Graduation is near and you have one more day. How does it feel to be done? However exciting this time may be, it is imperative that you still make sure that you have everything you need to graduate.  Make sure to request to send your final transcript to whatever college you plan to attend. Also, remember to keep your phone out of sight so you can stay exempted from exams.…

This April, Epic Games released Unreal Engine 5, which is a rendering software for computer games. Rendering softwares are responsible for the graphics and visual effects of games, with the new Unreal Engine 5 games looking indistinguishable from reality. Their so-called “Lumen” rendering accurately depicts shades and lighting, which presented the biggest challenge for graphic designers.   The previously described Lumen system comes from a term in physics in which a lumen is a measurement…

“Senioritis” is not a professionally recognized medical condition, but I believe it should be. It is closely related to a seasonal depression disorder and also has anxiety and depression symptoms all mixed in with it.  It is commonly described as the feeling of being constantly exhausted and unmotivated to finish projects and study as your time to graduate nears.   Most teachers and faculty laugh it off.  When I attempted to interview three separate teachers about…

It’s an ultimate showdown between the world’s deadliest animals (and a few nondeadly ones). The idea for this ranking came from the books that everyone reached for in elementary school called Who Will Win by Jerry Pallotta and Rob Bolster. These animal fights are based on the opinion of FHE students over which animal would win. These conclusions are not based on scientific data but on student opinion.   Great White Shark vs Salt Water Crocodile…

  There is an official campaign out right now on www.wpapool.com to bring billiards to the 2024 Olympic Games as a legitimate sport.    Playing “pool” or professional pool known as “billiards” has been a lost sport since the 1980’s.  Popular in the 80’s because of films such as “The Color of Money” starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman or the movie “The Hustler”, pool soon became a common pastime for Americans.    The fact…
