As the 2019 school year comes to a close, our Eye of the Hurricane Senior staff would like to thank Mr. Abe for everything he has done for us throughout our high school years. We could not have asked for a better journalism instructor!

We would like to wrap up our last article for Eye of the Hurricane News by interviewing the seniors one final time. I asked each senior staff member four questions.

1. What has Mr. Abe’s journalism class helped you with throughout your high school career?
2. How do you feel about New Castle High School now that you are finished with your education here?
3. What are your plans for the future?
4. If you are going to college, what are you going for?

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our last contribution to the Eye of the Hurricane!
