Carl Hawks

Mr. Hawks was my teacher when I was a sophomore in high school back in `05 or `06. I vividly remember him telling a student that a good friend wouldn´t tell reporters back that someone was talking about you, they simply would stand up for you. It´s a piece of unintentional advice that I´ve always carried with me and as a teacher myself, I teach my students. I hope he´s having the best time in Heaven and knows that he truly made an impact on the quiet and shy student who felt seen in his...

Graduated in 09, had him as my geometry teacher in sophmore or junior year I believe. I remember he told me to take a desk outside the class room and think about my existence, so I actually went and wrote him a paper on my existence and turned it in at the end of class. He graded it and gave it back to me the next day, said it was good. Interesting guy, as i'm sure he thought of me lol.

My all time favorite unforgettable 9th grade math teacher !!!!! I remember the teacher behind us would come in and ask the classroom to be quiet, and really it was just me hawks giving and awesome lecture in algebra. This broke my heart when I seen he passed away, but also really made my heart feel happy when I seen how many lives mr hawks has touched. Such an awesome person full of care for our generation. Also will never forget when he told us willem Defoe was his twin cousin lol. Rest in...

Mr. Hawks was my biology teacher during my junior year at Beyer in 1984-85. I had a great teacher-student relationship with him. He would go the extra mile for students who tried the best they could. I recall doing well in his class. He was straightforward with his students; he never pulled any surprises or tricks. I have followed that example during my teaching career that has lasted for 25 years. I´ll also remember the conversations he had with me and other male students about...

Rest In Peace Mr. Hawks, thank you for all your support. T and G

Mr. Hawks was the first teacher I ever had at Beyer and will always have a special place in my heart. He was always super nice to me and my friend -- would give us Pop Tarts on occasion, even though we didn't do anything to deserve it. He really tried getting to know his students personally and not just as a student who was in his class for an hour a day and would support student athletes at their games. The thing I'll remember Mr. Hawks the most for is his use of the word 'miscreant' -- he...
