This title only lasted from the opening of Mill Creek in 2004 until 2005. Mill Creek's mascot is the Hawk, so the paper was then titled The Hawk Print. In the statewide Journalism Banquet of 2007, The Hawk Print won first place in "Best Art or Illustration," "Best Photography," "Best News Section," and "Most Improved."Darenberg, Heather.
