Naomy Berganza is a 17 years old senior (class of 2026). She was born and raised in El Salvador and immigrated to the USA when she was 13. She is a naturally competitive person and doesn’t like messing around whenever she has stuff to do. That is why when she has strong desires to outperform in the tasks she engages in. For example, she attacks her responsibilities with a serious mindset rather than wasting time. She loves to help everyone around school with anything she can like helping teachers pass out papers. decorating, organizing, translating, explaining to others, etc…
This is her first time in Journalism class, even though she wasn’t sure about taking it, once she realized what it was about it called her attention and plans to learn and improve in this class as much as she can. After high school, she plans to be a Neonatal intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse and she said she will do everything to make it reality.
Hailey Rodriguez, Spanish Editor
This is Hailey Ramirez Rodriguez’s first and last year here at Hawkins because she moved schools for her senior year. She made the Hawkins HS cheerleading team on August 21 and she has been having the best experience. This is important because she’s attended three different high schools and she will be ending her high school years here at Hawkins High School. Here’s a little known fact about Hailey, her favorite color is pink; she likes going to the beach to walk around or to sit down, and she also enjoys going to the park to paint or just to be there. Her family is very important to Hailey, that is why she likes spending time with them, going over to her family’s house or inviting them over to her house to spend time with them. She looks forward to making a lot of memories with them, doing new things with them or even going to new places such as in theme parks, road trips or just places they find interesting on the internet. Another interesting fact is that Hailey enjoys doing her hair, trying new hairstyles. One last thing about Hailey is she loves all her jewelry because each piece was given to her on special days and are memorable.
