Eddie is such a wonderful young man who always goes above and beyond. He makes sure that others are included and showcases strong morals and values inside and outside the classroom. He is the true meaning of a STUDENT athlete who makes sure to keep his grades up while participating in numerous sports. He always has a smile on his face and will never hesitate to ask how his teachers are doing or compassion in any situation. He is a valued student at Hillcrest and he will truly be missed next year. #hillcresthawkpride
