TYRONE – “The Eagle Eye” is the Tyrone Area High School’s student newspaper. It was run by Ms. Leah Dobrowolsky for 9 years. She was unable to continue this role because she needed more room in her schedule for instructional coaching. When Civics teacher Mr. Todd Cammarata was asked to take over, he very generously agreed. “I was all for it!” he stated.

The Tyrone Renaissance Education Foundation started “The Eagle Eye” over 20 years ago. There’s a wide variety of topics in “The Eagle Eye,” ranging from sports and awards to Renaissance and the student network. It’s full of photos and soon, thanks to Mrs. Dolney and Mr. Feather, the Eagle Eye will have more videos up on the website for all to watch. Not only online, but videos on Channel T and shout outs as well.

“The Eagle Eye” gives many students the opportunity to get involved with different newspaper skills. As in English, students learn about writing and editing. Grammar, punctuation, spelling and many other similar skills are important to have when you’re a part of “The Eagle Eye.”

But “It’s not like a regular class; [It’s] more like a business.” said Mr. Cammarata.

“I believe that ‘The Eagle Eye’ has the potential to become even better.” said senior Sadie Jackson, current “Eagle Eye” editor. “I hope [student involvement] will increase in the near future.” Jackson says how it’s a really fun class; it’s very laid back but conventional at the same time. And is also very rewarding.

Sophomore Preston Mitchell, also a student in “The Eagle Eye,” says how it is very fun and when you get done with your articles early, you get to play games. He also states that he likes Cammarata a lot, and he’s very helpful.

“The Eagle Eye” is always looking for new students to join. Cammarata states that there are less than ten writers, and he needs more to cover all the news at Tyrone Area High School. With the new website, he hopes it’s a more visible way to get people to join.

Students should always be able to express themselves and write about what interests them. “I feel like the students should have a voice,” said Cammarata.

“It lets kids write about what they like,” adds Mitchell.

Mitchell also hopes that there are more people that join “The Eagle Eye,” and that it is very important to the school to have a newspaper.
