Hawthorne High School’s Mr. Hawthorne talent show is on March 2 at 7:30 PM in the HHS auditorium. The Clarion sat down with each of the contestants to get a chance to see what they think of the show and their chances to take the Mr. Hawthorne crown. They have been working day and night practicing their killer routines and are prepared to dazzle the crowds with their charm. Rocco graced us with his presence for a second year in a row and answered a few questions about his chances on winning this year.

Clarion Reporter: What are some things that you are a part of at HHS?

Rocco Pecoraro:  I basically run this school.

Clarion Reporter: Why did you decide to do Mr. Hawthorne?

Rocco Pecoraro: Well since I am in charge of all activities here at HHS, it would be silly for me not to do it.

Clarion Reporter: Do you think you will win?

Rocco Pecoraro: Let’s just say I’m going to light up the stage 😉

Clarion Reporter: What do you think of your competition? Who do you think is your biggest competitor?

Rocco Pecoraro: There’s no I in team – only me backwards.

Clarion Reporter: Tell us something about yourself that you want the audience at Mr. Hawthorne and the Hawthorne Community to know.

Rocco Pecoraro: After I win, I will be on a plane to California on Dancing With the Stars.

Good luck Rocco!
