Marc Kenney
English teacher Marc Kenney has been the Advisor of The Hawkeye since 2009. Kenney is also the Girls Varsity Soccer Coach at NHS. As Advisor, Kenney, "has the opportunity to work with an incredibly diligent and open-minded group of students who inspire me each day- except when we are near deadline when I get to tell them how bad they are." Our newspaper, created monthly, covers topics taking place inside and outside the halls of Newtown High School. These articles are written to inform, to educate, and to raise awareness for a wide array of issues. Beyond this, staff members keep our layout visually appealing and fresh. Many of our former students have gone to pursue Journalism careers in college and beyond.
