History, Spirit, Talon, Logo and Alma Mater

 

History:

The school opened in 1999 with only two grades and now serves students from grades 9 to 12. Ninth graders attend the adjacent Hebron 9th Grade Center, which opened in 2010. The Class of 2002 was the first graduating class. Hebron High School is located in what used to be the old town of Hebron. Only a few small patches of the town remain; most has been incorporated into surrounding cities of Carrollton, Plano, and The Colony.

When Hebron High School was being built in the late 1990’s LISD asked Arbor Creek students to submit names on what Hebron should be called.  The “Hawks, “Hippos” and “Hurricanes”  names were submitted. The “Hawks” were chosen as historians believed the two other names were submitted as a joke by the student body. Hebron was initially  painted  green as its primary color by the architects. Students did not like the color due to being to close to Newman Smith’s colors and changed it to black and blue.  The board added silver so it would not be gang related. Today there still is a presence of green inside and outside the school.

 

Hebron in 2005, in only its 5th year of varsity football, won the Class 4A Division II State Championshp. Hebron finished with a perfect season and a  28-0 over Corpus Christi Calallen, which had not been shut out in over 20 years for the state championship.

 

Spirit:

Sports teams are called the Hebron Hawks; women's teams are called the Lady Hawks. The school colors are black, silver, and blue. The official school mascot is Harry the Hawk.

Football players are encouraged to "Bring the Wood" (abbreviated BTW) by their coaches and a large plank of wood can be seen at football games with the phrase inscribed on its side. The popular slogan has earned Hebron's stadium the nickname "The Woodshed". "Bring the Wood" was invented by members of the 2000 Freshman Hawks Football team, the first team to win a district championship in football winning the 2000 District 9-4A district championship for Freshman teams.
 

Talon:

The hawk talon, raised in the air while singing the alma mater, is made by curling the index and middle finger in the air while bending the thumb toward the palm in a similar fashion and tucking the ring and pinky fingers into the palm completely. Students display this when acknowledging authority at events or at certain times during games.

Alma Mater:

The alma mater was written by members of the class of 2002 and 2003. The words are:

 

Hebron you are so grand, finest school in all the land

Together we will fly, as years go by

Hawks soar with pride and grace, flying to a higher place

You stand so strong and true

Go Black, Silver, Blue
(Scream: BLACK, SILVER, BLUE!)
