In the entryway to Mountlake Terrace High School campus, there’s a new addition — the “Raise the Hawk” sculpture and time capsule pedestal. The sculpture is sponsored by the school’s PTSA and Thaddeus Merten, a junior and BSA Eagle Scout candidate.

 

The hawk is in the school’s colors, and sports an 11-foot wingspan. It is perched atop a bright red orb balancing on the pyramid-capped time capsule. The base of the capsule is adorned with the commemorative tiles purchased by project donors, and is a lasting tribute to the Hawk Pride felt by alumni of years past and by current students. Congratulations, Thaddeus and all involved!
