Celebrities Sponsor Upcoming Silent Disco
Spreading her arms out wide, senior Celebrity Kari Malone performs in the gym at a pep rally. The Celebrities are hosting the upcoming silent disco this Saturday. “I’m excited to come together in the community with a night of dancing and laughing,” Malone said. “I think it’s going to be really fun to be able to have a night where we can dance just for fun.”

Blasting music, tasty food and friends all around – the combination for the perfect school dance. But there’s a catch. Everyone has headphones and it’s completely quiet. This Saturday, from 8 to 11 p.m., the Celebrities are hosting the school’s first silent disco.
The silent disco is one of many fundraisers for the Celebrities, but is slightly different as it involves the whole school. It is also similar to any formal school dance.
“It is a wonderful way to raise money for costume and contest fees, especially since contest season is coming up so quickly,” sophomore Lauren DeDominico said. “My favorite part will probably be trying something new, the headphones and dancing with my friends.”
Over the past couple years, silent discos have been trending, according to director Nikki Evans. Even the University of Texas hosts their very own silent dance parties, sponsored by the University Unions.
“We felt like our campus could use something fun and exciting to look forward to during this time of year,” Evans said. “People should come because it will likely be the only opportunity they have to attend a school dance that also includes a silent disco. Students can also expect music genres of every kind and exciting DJ battles.”
At the dance, students will be given a pair of headphones that are connected to radio stations. The music is then transmitted to the headphones from the stations, in contrast to playing music out loud from a large speaker. This dance is definitely a unique opportunity for all students, according to DeDominico.
“I think people should come to the dance because it will be an event where people can dance and have fun with their friends,” DeDominico said. “Who doesn’t love another opportunity to dress up?”
Students can still purchase a regular ticket for $20 on the Celebrities website. A ticket includes a pair of headphones, and students are required to bring their student ID. Tickets will be unavailable after Jan. 10.

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)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. 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].”
