Luke Erwin '24
Luke Erwin is more than just an average High School Student. His excellence as an Esports athlete sets him apart from other fifteen-year-olds in a unique way. As the current captain of Hill Top Prep's Esports team, Luke has made significant contributions in Super Smash Bros tournaments and competitive matches. Over the past year, Luke has logged over 1000 hours of playing time on Super Smash Bros and continues to hone his craft. However, he has provided so much more to our community than just his gaming skills.

Luke started his Hill Top journey in 5th grade with the intention of finding a better social environment for learning than his previous schools. “I didn’t have any problems academically, but the social encounters were very limited and I was treated like a problem child” he said. Also, Luke added that before joining our community he frequently got in trouble, despite not always knowing the reason why. When asked about how Hill Top has improved his social skills Luke replied “My disciplinary issues have ceased and my personality has definitely changed for the better.” Furthermore, Luke also included that his academic performance has improved even greater. Aside from being an excellent gamer and student, he also serves as a member of student council, taking time out of his busy schedule to make our community a better place. We are so proud of Luke’s accomplishments both in and out of the classroom and we are so excited to see what he does next.

Hill Top’s Esports program currently consists of fourteen students who compete in games such as Super Smash Bros and Minecraft. These athletes practice several days a week, dedicating their lunch periods, weekends and after school time. They even stream their practices live on Twitch TV every other Wednesday and every Friday at 7:00 PM. Additionally, students participate in more social competition through biweekly Minecraft sessions that allow Hill Top’s gamers to interact with students from other schools. T

Tryouts are conducted if a student is interested and the team facilitates an inclusive environment. If you are interested in watching our team practice live, click the link here and follow the Hill Top Hawks.
