Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

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)

It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

Celebs shine with new uniforms at iDance
After they performed their hip hop routine, “Ballin’,” The Celebrities pose for the ending of their team dance on Oct. 8 at iDance at Leander High School. They performed two team dances, two officer dances and had the seniors perform in the senior dance at the finale. “I’m going to come to iDance next year,” senior and Captain Mackenzie Lawrence said. “I hope that the dances continue to be just as good as they were this year. It was super strong this year and a great last iDance for me, and I hope that next year they feel the same way.”

The lights shined as the dancers glittered across the stage; iDance was in full swing on Oct. 7-8 at Leander High School. All five LISD high school dance teams participated in the showcase.
“It’s so fun to dance with the other schools because we get to see what dancing teams are like compared to ours,” senior Captain Mackenzie Lawerence said. “It’s also a chance to make a lot of friends across the district.”
The Cedar Park Celebrities showed off two of their new dances during the showcase.
“We have been working on the dances since the summer so we had a lot of time to clean them,” senior first lieutenant Riley Goernor said. “We all have been working really hard on them at practice, we’ve basically perfected them. They are really fun to do, especially “Ballin’” since it’s themed after our spring show, which is “Dream Big.” We’ve never really had themed dances before so it was really cool to have that in the showcase.”
The main purpose of the showcase is to have all five high schools of LISD dance together, which is important to junior dancer Haley Hottinger.
“iDance is about uniting the other schools in our district,” Hottinger said. “It’s nice to take a break from the competitiveness, and work together with the four other schools to put on a spectacular show.”
The Celebrities also came out and introduced their new uniform at the iDance showcase which was great, new experience for sophomore dancer Haley Alfaro-Kim.
“Our new uniform is really sparkly, it was cool to have the audience cheer for us as soon as we all went on stage with them on,” Alfaro-Kim said. “I think everybody really liked them, especially the dancers. It’s the first time anybody has ever worn them so it was special for us to perform at iDance.”
