Clarion Reporter: What has been the best part about working here at HHS so far?

Ms. Fiorilla: The best part about working at HHS so far would be meeting new teachers and getting to know all of my students.  I also enjoy going to the sporting events and cheering on all of the dedicated teams.

Clarion Reporter: What’s your favorite part about being part of the Hawthorne Bear Family?

Ms. Fiorilla: My favorite part of being a member of the Hawthorne Bear Family would be all of the enthusiasm the faculty, staff, and students have towards the school.  There is a lot of school spirit at Hawthorne High School, which makes it extremely enjoyable to come to work everyday.  I also really like how helpful everyone was, being that it was my first year here in Hawthorne.  The teachers and administration were extremely welcoming, which made my transition a lot easier.
