PARSIPPANY — The Hawk Eye Awards recognize the extraordinary efforts of the students, staff and parents of Parsippany High School that make a difference in their school and the community.
To the Native Americans, the hawk was a symbol of strength, vision, and truth. The hawk had keen eyesight which it used to open the eyes of others. The hawk was the great messenger of the skies. It soared with the power to overcome difficult situations and helped others to achieve great victory. We are looking to recognize the modern-day Redhawks with the greatest vision and strength- those parents, staff and students who, like the Native American hawks of the past, see a bigger picture and do everything in their power to make it clearer for the rest of us. These “Hawk Eyes” lift others up through their words, actions and values, and as a result, Parsippany and PHS is an even better place to live, learn and grow.
Each year, PHS will recognize students, teachers or parents for going the extra mile to make a difference in our school or community.
This years recipients of the Hawk Eye Awards were Andres Massefski, Aarin Feliz, Michael Nicosia, Ellen Jones, Joanne Davino, Steve Gilgur and Ronald Ribnik.
