One of my favorite Hawk Leader traditions! These juniors and seniors gave up their final week of summer to prepare for our newest Hawks, and their energy and enthusiasm today proved why #eastsideisthebestside! So proud of you guys! #hawksfly @OlatheEastHawks

Tonight was the J.J. Allen Memorial Scholarship Art Show. We had over a 100 submissions and curated it down to 70 for a great show this year. With 10 scholarships being awarded this evening to some outstanding students. Handing out over $1,250 in scholarships! @OlatheEastHawks

Congratulations to Devion Murray on his 100th career victory as a Hawk Wrestler. More to come for this senior. Hawk Proud!! @OlatheEastHawks @CoachLarsonOE

The online trend of young men reading classic works of literature and posting about it continues. ⁦@ChrisKindaReads⁩ was the first I saw do it, but it is spreading. Don’t blackpill on the next generation.

Hey America - Kansas isn’t a fly-over state; We’re a touchdown state. #ChiefsInKansas

Ray Bradbury; this is the secret to a good life

Truly awesome students! 💙🧡

The teenager bagging groceries today asked if I wanted my bread on top. I said yes. He nodded seriously and said, "Good call. Structural integrity is everything." Then he arranged my bags like he was building a cathedral. His coworker laughed at him. But my bread arrived home unpunched, my tomatoes unbrushed. Sometimes the people who care too much about small things are exactly who we need.

1st out of 24 teams at our season opener, De Soto‘s JV tournament!

Hate to say it but the “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” monologue from Macbeth really is a banger. “To the last syllable of recorded time?” Perfect. “All our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death?” No notes. Bill Shakespeare, you will always be famous.

Yay, Ethan! Your advisory is proud of you! 💙🧡

What an awesome team!!

🌟Varsity Offense Player of the Game🌟 Gavin Otto came up big against SMS, including recovering an onside kick to keep the momentum rolling! Great effort and focus from start to finish. Way to lead the way, Gavin! @Otto8Gavin Presented by Hyvee

JV Player of the Game Congrats to Creighton Feaker, who rushed for over 100 yards and found the end zone with a touchdown vs. Olathe South! Big time performance from the sophomore RB. Great job, Creighton!
