![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

The lights will shine as sparkly uniforms glint on stage and arms fly to the air, raising poms. The PAC will echo the sounds of loud music and dancing feet while kicking legs point to the sky. The stage will be a collective movement of bright colors. iDance is bringing all of the LISD dance teams together once again to show off their new dances and performances on Oct. 7-8 at Leander High School.
“It’s really a chance for all of the schools to come together and dance as one collective group,” junior social officer of the Celebrities Roxy Mota said. “It’s always really cool to see how every school dances the choreography in their own styles. I’m really excited for the finale, it has all the seniors from all the schools dancing together in their school uniforms.”
The LISD schools will be performing choreography that was taught at iDance camp during the week of Aug. 27-31 in the summer.
“I love the dances this year,” senior second lieutenant Jessie Thiemann said. “Walking on a Dream” is an intricate kick routine that showcases our technique and style. And “’Ballin’” is a super fun, hard hitting routine that’s a total crowd pleaser that’s fun to perform.”
The showcase tickets will be sold at Leander High School at the door and at each participating LISD school for $10.
“Everybody should come to iDance because you get to support the whole district and see a bunch of dances full of talented people,” junior Celebrities manager Allison McCarty said. “The showcase is fun because everybody can share school spirit and support the dance teams of this district.”
