“Night Hawk”

A “night hawk” was a cowboy who drew the short straw. Tasked with watching over the herd and sleeping cowboys at night, they would stay up working through the long nights. At Salinas High, one often hears mention of the “herd,” students and faculty who make our community what it is. Staying up late. Being the odd one, out. Being a cowboy, yet, a bit different. We’ve embraced our natures and find the night hawk really encapsulates both our demographic and our general natures as part of Salinas High’s gaming culture. We are Salinas High Cowboys, but we are also Salinas High Night Hawks!
