Senior Reflections

This week, we continue our senior spotlight as we bring on another student to share reflections from their final go around at WSHS. From memories and meaningful moments to gratitude for the people who made an impact, it’s a chance to hear what this time of year really means. We also talk Big 9 Music Fest, catch up on what’s happening around the building, and even learn a little more about Mr. Gleason along the way. A well-rounded episode filled with reflection, appreciation, and a look ahead to what’s next.

Spring Reset

After a few busy weeks filled with spring sports and shifting schedules, the crew is finally back together on the mic. This episode is all about catching up on what’s been happening around WSHS during this time of year and settling back into the rhythm of the show. We mix in a spring-themed game for some fun and keep things light as we enjoy being back together and sharing a few laughs along the way. A relaxed, feel-good episode that gets Hawk Talk rolling again for the spring stretch.

A Thank You Before Goodbye

This week marks a shift as the spring season pulls some familiar voices away from the mic, opening the door for a new perspective on the show. Stepping in alongside a guest host is a senior ready to share what life is like in these final days of high school and what the future holds beyond WSHS. We talk about experiences, lessons learned, and the excitement (and uncertainty) that comes with what’s next. In a special moment, there’s also an opportunity to thank a teacher who made a lasting impact, something we don’t always get the chance to do once we leave. A meaningful, reflective episode that captures what it’s all about as one chapter comes to a close and another begins.

Rooted in Opportunity

This week’s Spring Break episode takes listeners inside a program that’s always on the move and always in demand. Our guest shares how a welcoming environment and hands-on opportunities have helped create something students from all backgrounds want to be part of, both inside the classroom and far beyond it. From traveling across the state to experiences that stretch well past school walls, the conversation highlights how meaningful programs can open doors and build confidence for students in ways that last well beyond high school. And just when you think the episode is settling in, we bring in a surprise guest for a true 2-fer, adding even more perspective and fun to the conversation. A perfect Spring Break listen full of stories, energy, and a reminder that some of the best learning happens when students are given room to grow.

When One Door Closes...

This week, we sit down with a teacher whose path to the classroom was shaped by purpose long before stepping into a school. After 9/11, with the mindset of “If I don’t go, who will?”, the decision to serve in the military became a defining chapter in a journey built on responsibility and commitment to others. From that call to serve to the classroom today, every step reflects the idea of servant leadership, leading by putting others first, showing up with humility, and doing the work that needs to be done. We talk about growth, perspective, and how those experiences shape the way students are supported and empowered each day. An inspiring episode that reminds us leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about stepping forward when it matters most.
