The Eyrie

Congratulations to this year's winners of the recently-made-annual teacher superlatives! Although we have had The Eyrie revitalized since 2014--and you can read articles right here on our website going all the way back to then!--we only started doing superlatives two years ago; but this new tradition is sure to be a lasting one. This year, our methodology was as follows: Each student started first by selecting a teacher who has had a positive impact on them. Then, they gener

By Emily H. Based on what I have overheard my peers and adults in the building say in casual conversation, many students and teachers at Airport feel that Nest is a big waste of time during the school day. There are many reasons why we should get rid of it completely or at least find other uses for the time frame in between 2nd and 3rd period. In this article I will talk about the alternatives of having Nest time and what other activities would help better the school day here

By Isabella F. At Airport High School, the music genre, K-Pop, has gained popularity as an effect of the hit movie  KPop Demon Hunters . In response, all eyes have been on South Korea, especially the Korean Pop groups. One group in particular has broken countless records with few releases and is considered the biggest girl group in the world: BLACKPINK.  The members: Kim Jisoo, Kim Jennie, Park Chaeyoung ( Rosé) , and Lalisa, their impact on the K-Pop industry has been nothin

By Zion P. and Jahmarcus W. Disney: a corporation famous for giving us magical movie experiences like the 90’s with movies like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. If  you're possibly an early 2000’s fan and are more into Lilo and Stitch or The Emperor's New Groove. Even here at AHS almost everyone knows and grew up with the original Disney movies either in theaters, on Disney channel reruns, or more recently on Disney +. No matter what kind of fan you are, new or old, Disney h

By Ji'Miyriah B. There are a lot of people who watch anime in Airport High School and who like to make comments about the couplings  between characters. One such pair of characters are Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya, two childhood friends and rivals from the anime My Hero Academia who later become romantically involved.  Some people like Katsuki and Izuku as a couple. I personally do not like it. First, Katsuki told Izuku to commit suicide. One example is the dialogue from

By Jah-Kia M. With the recent premier of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, the popular Netflix show is on the minds of many students.  As much as students at Airport High School love watching the show Stranger Things, however, some people think that it's a boring and weird show. I think that people should watch Stranger Things because it teaches you a lot of good things and each individual episode is very entertaining.  To be more specific, three reasons I love t

By Taylor M. AI has been a big source in the way we do things. Here at AHS, most students use ChatGPT as a helpful learning tool. But for others, the use of AI is to make an essay or an article for them. We use AI so much in our daily lives that we can’t do anything for ourselves without a robot assistant, and it has developed overtime, becoming more and more realistic. While some think AI is helpful, while others think it’s corrupted, I believe AI is being used everywhere, a

By Natalee O. To many Hispanics in Airport High School the topic of ICE and illegal immigration crackdowns can be sensitive . They have been feeling worried and some even angry about the current situation , not knowing if they will see their mom and dad after school, whether or not their parents are here legally. Some people don't really know what's going on,  others don”t think it's important. Some Teachers have already seen  the effects of ICE actions, for example students

By Felix C. One thing that many Airport students know is that they can’t play games on their Chromebooks during class. Middle school and high school students aren’t able to play any games on their Chromebooks because they are blocked. Many students don’t do their work because of the games they try to play. Teachers report this to the director, who blocks every Chromebook, new or old, so students can’t play games. Some students still know how to unblock games or other apps or

By Morgan M. As many may know basketball season has just begun and many people believe that Boys basketball should receive more funding than the girls . However , I believe that the girls should receive more funding for many reasons .  The first reason why girls should receive more funding is because the girls team is way better than the boys team . According to Maxprep.com  ,during the season of 24-25 our record was 15-11 and the boys record was 5-20 . This shows how the gir

By Demetrius W. As many students, parents, and teachers know, vaping is a major problem among teenagers, not just at AHS but worldwide. Some people think vapes are good for you, they think that if you use a vape all your problems will go away and there will be no more stress or they also think that it is a better, safer alternative for cigarettest. Others think that vapes should only be allowed for people 21 and older because they are adults. I think that vapes should be bann

By Alex O. Here at Airport High School, most students probably go to church. However, some do not, either because they do not believe in God or maybe are just too lazy to get up early on a Sunday. In my opinion, everyone should go to church. I know that I go and attend church every Sunday and think that everyone should also do so. First of all, I think that everyone should go to church because the church teaches good lessons about kindness. One way the church teaches kindness

By Alma M. It's hard beginning in school for five days of the week and more than eight hours of being in school. While you're at school you have no connection out into the world. If your phone is put up in your book bag all day you'll need a break here and there. Last year in compliance with a law proposed by state school superintendent Ellen Weaver, my school, Airport High School, banned privileges of full use of any electronic from 8:25 to 3:35, and when people started hear

By David P. Why is LinkedIn one of the social media toxic? People post on social media like Facebook, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn, but LinkedIn is the top tier of toxic. The first reason why is because of performative pressure and the constant hustle culture. Starting off with LinkedIn, people get locked in on posting about college and career competition, and it has turned toxic. Some negativity comes from people posting on any social media platforms, not just LinkedIn. Secondl

By Jamarion L. As excited as Airport students are for thanksgiving, kids are more excited about the break that comes with it.  Many students feel that the school day is too long for them to stay engaged with their assignments. Students are forced to come to school everyday until they are 17  so it can feel like students are being held hostage while being at school.The school day should be fewer hours, for example five hours instead of eight. The first reason why the school da

By Kam B. and Kassadi H. People often take freedom of speech and turn it into hate speech by attacking a race or religion when it should be used to spread positive messages. We even, sadly, see this at Airport High School. Truth be told, some Supreme Court decisions--such as Hazelwood vs. Khulmeier--allows schools to censor us, but have they gone too far? In our opinion, our 1st amendment right to say what we want should have more value at school, but it’s important to use th

By Madilyn B. Students who attend Airport Highschool have constantly complained about the classrooms and how small the classrooms are. Multiple students have addressed the stress from the classroom being so small, An average high school classroom is about 800 to 1,100 square feet often with dimensions like 30 by 30 feet and is meant to hold about 20 to 30 children at once, which feels small and is completely unethical!. I believe that classrooms should be bigger.  One reason

By Marvin P. Here at Airport, most students have that one teacher they love and maybe even some they hate. In short, not all teachers are fantastic.  In my opinion, there are more bad than good. To say it another way, most teachers at Airport are in need of improvement and something needs to be done to make them better.  The first way to show that teachers need improvement is by identifying their areas of weakness, one of which is very bad teaching abilities. Some examples of

By Maleah H. & Jailyn R. Students at AHS are always talking or worrying about school shootings, especially on the days when we have the active shooter drills. However, students should never worry about what could happen while they're in a place where they're supposed to feel safe. Even people across the country shouldn’t have to  worry about guns in their everyday lives. Things we worried about wouldn't happen if guns were banned. Some people say guns are good for protection,

By Isabella F. At the end of each year, the theatre classes are allowed to choose to watch a movie during their free-time, and out of all the unlimited choices in the world, one is always the top pick: Hamilton . In other words, despite being several years old at this point, the theatre kids at AHS love this play. Written by Lin Maunel Miranda from 2008 to 2015, it was brought to the stage in February of 2015, debuting off-Broadway. However, in August of 2015, it hit the Broa

By Jailyn R. Many schools around the world face the same problems. Students might struggle with addiction, mental health or problems within their families.Students at AHS are no exception. Many of our teenagers can likely relate to dealing with these problems or have friends or are struggling internally with these same problems.  One television show, albeit fictional, which also addresses some of these issues and which many students of AHS like to watch is Euphoria, which fol

By Maleah H. Review of The Lovely Bones 1 - The Lovely Bones, a film by Peter Jackson, is a movie that many students at AHS have watched or should watch. Even though the film was released in 2009, over fifteen years ago, it remains timeless and warrants review. The story has a mix of sadness and mystery that keeps viewers interested. The movie is based on a 14 year old girl named Susie Salmon who is murdered by her neighbor Mr Harvey. Her spirit ends up in the afterlife where

By Emily H. As the Christmas season approaches, many people like to watch Christmas movies at home with their families. Even at school, many teachers love to show seasonal favorites around the holidays.  One good movie to watch is Home Alone . The movie, released in 1990, is about a young boy named Kevin who lives with his big family. Kevin’s family is going on vacation to France and the night before gets into a big argument with them all. He says he wishes that his family wo

By Kassadi H. & Alex O. The movie Sinners, released on April 18, 2025, remains fresh on the minds of AHS students, especially since it recently hit streaming services and is a good film to watch during the spooky season.  Furthermore, it shows different themes of identity and the different challenges of growing up looking or feeling different, which many students at AHS can relate to. The movie Sinners starts off as something showing the struggles as a person of color in 1930
