ADMIN ADDRESSES AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

PAVING MORE PARKING

BY EMMA POMEROY

One of the most apparent issues this past year was finding parking for every student. Though, the administration has found a helpful and unique solution. By having students park at the stadium and ride the bus up to the school, they have created more space for many students.

“Parking at the field … has been a unique solution for a big problem,” said Principal Cathrine Perrow.

However, a more permanent solution will be available for the 2026-2027 school year.

“Over the summer, one

of our projects is adding parking,” Perrow said, “we expect that we should be able to see all of our students park up here, starting the beginning of the year.”

This is a huge win for the members of the student body that drive to school every morning; however, the victories do not stop there.

“We’re very appreciative of the students who have parked down at the field,” Perrow said. “We will prioritize parking spots… for the people who have had to park down at the field and a reduced rate for those students because they paid to be down there.”

IMPROVING ATTENDANCE AND GRADES

BY LEXXI SCHMITT

Over this past school year, students’ grades and attendance have been dropping to a concerning number. Because of this, the administration has decided that it is time to take action and fix this issue.

The first concern to talk about is students’ grades.

Principal Catherine Perrow said that she thinks “sometimes students just need to be reminded about the core purpose of coming to school… It’s really important that people who come to Hoban remember that it was an intentional choice for every

person to come here.”

Hoban is considered a school of excellence as it requires applications, essays and a placement test to get in. Being a private school, Hoban is never considered to be someone’s backup school, making it different when compared to public schools.

Perrow thinks it is “important [to] remind some of our students that engaging in… [their] school work is important” and she wants all students to remember to work diligently.

The second concern to talk about is student attendance. This year, student attendance

REVIVING THE PEP-BAND

BY LILY OBHOF

With summer break quickly approaching, new clubs and ideas for next school year are ringing in the air. Among these are early stages of a Pep Band being formed at the Castle.

“We have an alumni named Johnny Zazo joining us as the director of the Pep Band,” Principal Catherine Perrow said.

Pep Band will be an after school activity with rehearsals once or twice a week. The idea is for Pep Band to perform at home football games, winter sports games and possibly appearing

numbers have dropped drastically, with people constantly coming in late and skipping class. Although this problem has many different possible contributing factors, the administration wants to work to cut this number down.

“One of the things that we as an administration will work on over the summer is creating a systematic approach to student attendance and early intervention,” Perrow said.

at different fall and spring events as well. The school will work to partner with local music stores for rentals, or students can use their own instruments from home. The sheet music itself will be provided by the school, and band members will be given matching shirts to wear to make the band appear uniform.

The Pep Band will be open for all students to join and participate.

“I think that’s so affirming that we found something that was missing and now we’re providing it,” Perrow said.

The administration wants to work on planning ahead to know when it is right to intervene with students and decide with the student in mind how to support them to improve attendance.

Overall, these two topics are things that need to be addressed, and the administration is doing just that. With the summer break coming up, they are going to use that time to their advantage and to keep working to improve our school.

STUDENTS OR STATISTICS?

OPINION

BY DEIDRE DRENSKY

For many high school students today, it feels like every hobby, club, sport, or volunteer hour has become less about enjoyment and more about perfecting a college application. Instead of asking what students are passionate about, the conversation often becomes “Will this look good for college?”

Students are expected to

balance advanced classes, sports, leadership positions, part-time jobs and social lives, all while maintaining near perfect grades. Free time, once considered important for relaxation and creativity, now feels unproductive.

Junior Avery Neugebauer said “during track season, [she] usually[s] get home around 6:15 p.m. every night, and it is hard to

eat dinner, finish homework, and get ready for bed in a reasonable time.”

Social media only increases this pressure. When you constantly see others posting college acceptances, awards, and internships, you feel that everyone else is doing more. Overworking yourself has become normalized. With this comes unhealthy habits, like a lack of sleep and reliance on energy drinks.

“Last year, I was consuming

Students at Archbishop Hoban High School took a poll surrounding their average sleep, the time they arrive at home, and extracurricular activities they participate in. Most students at Hoban only get 5-7 hours of sleep rather than the recommended amount of 8, and a surprising 33% of students arrive home at 8 p.m. or later every night. INFOGRAPHIC BY DEIDRE DRENSKY

CANCEL CULTURE: THE MODERN SALEM

OPINION BY EMMA

POMEROY

“Guilty until proven innocent” is a mindset shared by people of the 1600s in Salem, Mass. and people in modern day society–both attacking others based on misunderstandings, not facts.

Though there are definitely reasons to boycott public figures, especially when they are proven criminals or hold opinions that could harm others, oftentimes this is not the case.

A recent example: While performing at Coachella 2026, an excited Sabrina Carpenter fan let out a loud, high pitched, cultural yell. Not understanding and frightened by the sound, Carpenter said it was a “yodel” and that she did not like it. She faced lots of backlash, as many saw her comments as critical towards Arab and Middle Eastern

cultures. The “yodel” was actually a “zaghrouta,” a vocalization used to celebrate in these cultures.

Admittedly, Carpenter should have picked her words more carefully and appreciated the fans cheering for her. However, this does not mean that her reaction was malicious in any way.

The argument that she is “Islamophobic” was backed by nothing other than this misunderstanding. The internet moved straight to the guilty verdict. This is shockingly similar to how women were assumed to be witches based on misunderstandings taken too far.

Society has had over 400 years to break away from this judgy mindset, yet we still carry pitchforks, ready to take down anyone we don’t agree with.

so much caffeine a day to make up for my lack of sleep. I had to stop myself from drinking energy drinks at the end of the year,” said Neugebauer.

Burnout, stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation have become common among teenagers. Students are told that high school is supposed to be the best years of your life, yet many spend those years exhausted. In fact, according to the American Institute of Stress, “on a 10 point scale, where adult stress averages 3.8, American teens rate their stress at 5.8.”

This pressure should not define high school. Prioritizing rest and picking activities based on genuine interest, rather than perceived value, can make a meaningful difference. More importantly, college admissions culture needs to shift towards valuing authenticity rather than constant overachievement.

Students should not feel bound by how many awards they can accumulate, but rather on how they can become thoughtful individuals who will explore what matters to them.

THE

DOWNSIDE OF ENERGY DRINKS

OPINION BY LEXXI SCHMITT

What is your favorite energy drink? Some prefer Alanis and others Celsius, maybe RedBull or even Monster. How many of these do you believe you drink a week: two, five, eight? Now, the big question: do you think about how they could affect your health?

According to the CDC, “energy drink[s] typically contain large amounts of caffeine, added sugars, other additives, and legal stimulants… [which can] increase blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing.” These can cause harmful side effects on the nervous system. Along with this comes “dehydration,” “heart complications (such as irregular heartbeat and heart failure),”

“anxiety,” and “insomnia.”

In 2011, “1,499 adolescents aged 12-17 years went to the emergency room for an energydrink-related emergency.” Due to the increase in the overconsumption of caffeine in children and young adults, “[t]he American Academy of Pediatrics

EDITORIAL: STUDENTS CAN TAKE ACTION TO IMPROVE

As the school year is coming to an end, we can now look back, reflect and adjust to make things better for next year. Some of these include: the parking situation, our attendance rates, and grades. Although these are big topics, there are still things we as students can do to aid the administration in improving these.

Parking has been a big topic of discussion this year. As the upper lot cannot hold every student with a car, some people have resorted to parking across the street, which is not allowed. Although next year will have more parking available, carpooling to school or having others drive you if possible are reasonable solutions for the future.

Another big topic has been students’ low attendance rates. This year has included a significant amount of student tardies and absences. If a single student has some unexcused absences, it can

[now] states that caffeine and other stimulants in energy drinks have no place in children’s and adolescents’ diets.”

This is not to say those who consume energy drinks should quit cold turkey. Many teenagers are addicted to the drinks and need them because, without daily consumption, they can get headaches.

However, there are some things we can do to lower the amount of caffeine teenagers consume. For example, students can encourage health teachers and even athletic coaches to spend some time educating about caffeine and how it affects adolescents.

Overall, teens around the U.S. are consuming unhealthy amounts of energy drinks, causing medical emergencies. So, what is worth more: your health or your energy drink?

lead to them getting behind in their work and, in return, affecting their grades. It is understandable that sometimes missing school is inevitable, but when it is skipping on purpose with no excuse, it becomes a problem.

Ways we can improve this is by trying to schedule appointments, like check-ups, outside of school hours, setting multiple alarms and sacrificing Starbucks some mornings when it will make you late.

The last topic worth addressing is our grades. Being in high school is never easy, and keeping up good grades can be hard. Despite this, making time every day, even a few minutes, to study or finish up homework can benefit our grades more than expected. Further, taking our enrichment time to ask teachers for aid prioritizes our grades and makes better connections with our staff.

STUDENTS STAY ACTIVE OVER SUMMER BREAK

BY KAYLA JOHNSON

With summer just days away, students are excited for a chance to relax after the rigorous school year. However, in preparation for college applications, time off could be used to improve future prospects. There are several affordable local opportunities for students to continue being academically involved and, as a bonus, make college applications stronger.

Colleges in our area and out of state offer summer pre-college programs. Some benefits of these programs include “getting to know yourself, and your passions, your gifts, and requires you to really think about what you want out of your next four years,” said college and career counselor Kate Ribovich.

Several students, including juniors Ben McNeal and Lauren Ribovich, have gone through these programs.

McNeal chose to participate in a week-long writing day camp at

John Carroll University, where he spent time both in and outside of class responding to unique prompts and sharing them at the end of the day to receive feedback. This workshop allowed for guidance with writing, but also exposed him to the college and the experience of meeting new people.

“I gained a lot of new teamwork skills that I think will be valuable for the rest of my life,” said McNeal.

Similarly, Lauren attended a law camp where she was able to hear from people who work in the field and learn what different careers in the legal field would look like.

“It helped me get out of my comfort zone by allowing me to meet new people and learn how to public speak,” said Lauren.

Beyond just attending summer programs, there are several other ways to improve college applications and continue to stay involved academically.

THE LEGACIES OF RETIREES YANKO, WAGNER & JOINER

BY KORBEN HAHN

After several decades at Archbishop Hoban, the hallways are about to get a little quieter. As we are approaching the end of the academic year, two of our most beloved educators came together to reflect on their journey from their first days to their final in 2026.

When History teacher Robert Yanko first joined the high school as a student in 1962, the school looked quite different. At the time, Yanko described the school to be much smaller. There was no Alumni Gym, no Student Center, and the Science Wing was the Holy Cross brothers' living quarters.

Reflecting on those early days, Yanko remembered that “the parking lot used to be all houses… In [his] senior year, they brought girls from St. Mary’s to each science class, which was kind of an introduction to ladies being part of the Hoban community.”

Health and Physical Education Chair Mitch Wagner added that the well-known dome used to be the back of the school.

Teaching through the decades requires a great deal of adaptability. Both teachers have navigated the transition from books, chalkboards and lockers to iPads, TVs and phones.

However, Wagner notes that the students themselves have not changed as much as people might think.

“This happens now and then: the students here unite around our mission and core values and become a community that values education, who value curricular activities and value what the holy school represents ” Wagner said.

Yanko’s favorite moment while at Hoban was his very first Mum day.

“It was dark like it was now, spot light in the middle, the only Hoban cheer leader would lead the school, ‘Give me an H!’ and it never changed from that point onward,” Yanko said.

Wagner described it as being relatively the same, with no talking and a large assembly where students yell their hearts out.

Wagner's favorite memory, though, was the very first lip dub.

“The students and faculty spread themselves all across the school, they had a camera and walked backwards with music playing,” Wagner said. “It was such a huge success and really pulled the whole school Hoban community together. It was such a different, fun experience.”

Cheri Joiner, a very well known figure at Hoban, is also unfortunately retiring. She has

been the heart of the lunch room for 21 years now, and she is taking her much deserved retirement.

One thing she loves and will miss is Mum Day: “The only time of the year where I can actually take orders with no problem.”

It is impossible to measure the full impact these three had on Hoban. From coaching football to leading the History department to holding down the Cafeteria, their legacy is everywhere.

“I have too much energy to just retire,” Yanko said of his retirement plans. “I would stay in spirit and tutor here.”

Wagner also said he would “love to pursue… [his] love for music and maybe produce my own music.”

They leave behind a simple message for the next generation

of teachers, to never stop doing what you love.

On behalf of the entire Hoban family, we thank Yanko, Wagner, and Joiner for their service, your patience, and their heart. They will be missed, but never forgotten.

GUARDS’ OFFENSE STRUGGLES LIMIT PLAYOFF HOPES

BY DREW TOWELL

NEW ADVANCEMENTS CHANGE

As of May 18, the Cleveland Guardians are 33-25 and continuing the offensive struggle from last year. Even though there are bright spots for the team, the inconsistency hurts them. Jose Ramirez, a multiple-time all star and yearly MVP candidate, is one of the most important issues surrounding the team. Ramirez finished last year with a .283 batting average and 30 home runs with 44 stolen bases. This season, he is hitting a below average .222 with only six home runs, a surprising downfall after being ranked the pre-season number one third baseman. Another surprising lowlight of the season comes out of the bullpen, as multiple games this year have been blown after the starter was taken out. The Guardians bullpen used to be one of the best in history. Now, they struggle to hold onto a lead. Although on the flip side, a bright spot on the team comes from the rookie star powers Chase Delaughter, Parker Messick and Travis Bazzana, who all have burst onto the scene helping to lead the offense and pitching staff. Bazzana, the number one pick in the 2024 draft, made his MLB debut and began heating up. Delaughter made the opening day roster after making his wild debut in the postseason last year. He started the year hitting five home runs in his first four regular season games. He has continued his hot streak by hitting nearly .300 through 42 games. Messick posted a sub-two earned run average through his first seven starts, adding to an already decent starting rotation.

The Guardians also acquired Patrick Bailey in a trade with the Giants. The Guardians gave up a first round pick this year and a solid starting pitching prospect, and in return they got a good defensive catcher; however, he does not add any offensive value. Bailey joined a busy catching room with veteran Austin Hedges and the newly demoted Bo Naylor. The Cleveland Guardians are starting to work back up, but their continued offensive struggles are hurting their chances at a postseason run.

SABRINA CARPENTER DAZZLES VIEWERS

REVIEW BY KAYLA JOHNSON

Sabrina Carpenter returns to the desert, but this time as a headliner. Friday April 10 and Friday April 17, 2026, Carpenter headlined Coachella with an impressive performance containing songs from her most recent album, “Man’s Best Friend.” However, this is not her first time performing at the famous California music festival. In April of 2024, Carpenter took to the mainstage for a sunset slot, making the promise to return as a headliner, which she fulfilled just two years later.

Performing in bedazzled body suits and Louboutins, Carpenter astounded the crowd with her set, theatrics and voice. The set itself was an ode to old Hollywood with everything from the outfits, to the hair, to the elaborate backdrops and props hinting at the theme, adding to the entertainment and visual appeal. She continued to

stun with her numerous notable guests including Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Susan Sarandon, Corey Fogelmanis, Terry Crews and Madonna.

“I thought that the visuals, costumes, and props were so well done…I have always loved her costumes and overall aesthetic and this show highlights that entirely,” said junior Elianna Donatelli.

Carpenter provided the audience with not just a concert, but a performance that left viewers, like freshman Audrey Drensky, in awe of the showmanship she portrays when she steps on stage in her glittery, red bottom heels.

“Her stage presence is astounding and her dancing ability has always been consistent. On top of that, her vocals are stunning and her performance proves that,” said Drensky.

BIEBERCHELLA SURPRISES FANS WITH UNEXPECTED GUESTS

REVIEW BY GRIFFEN WAUGH

Judging by the audience’s reaction to his two performances at this year’s Coachella festival, Justin Bieber is officially back. Preceded by his appearance at the 2026 Grammys, his first public performance in four years, Bieber’s Coachella sets, collectively dubbed “Bieberchella” by fans, have arguably overshadowed the sets of the festival’s other headliners, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. Wearing a hoodie and significantly stripping back his stage show, perhaps the most significant

moment of Bieber’s two sets was during Weekend 1, when he used his laptop to search for his many hits, including “Baby” and “Sorry,” on YouTube, as well as various clips of his younger self and classic internet memes.

Bieber rounded Weekend 1 all out with a performance of “Daisies,” backed by Gen Z “guitar hero” Mk.gee, known for his unique guitar setup and playing

In contrast to Weekend 1’s stripped-down aesthetic,

WITH COACHELLA

Carpenter has proven her talents through her wellthought-out stage design and theatrical performances. This professionalism stood out in the Coachella line up, yet her performance was underappreciated, which, to many, comes as no surprise.

“I think the core of this issue is the much higher standards for women compared to men. If Sabrina got onstage with a computer and played her songs off YouTube, hate would quickly spread across the internet,”

said Drensky.

Carpenter demonstrated the expectation for women in the industry that there must be effort, visuals, and special guests to captivate audiences. Meanwhile, when male artists take the stage, their presence alone is deemed as enough. Give female performing artists the credit they deserve and recognize that Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella performance was the highlight of both weekends.

Weekend 2 featured a celebrity-heavy set, including guests like Billie Eilish and SZA. A long-time superfan of Bieber, Eilish joined him as he sang “One Less Lonely Girl,” while SZA joined Bieber to perform “Snooze.”

Sophomore Julia Krejsa enjoyed both performances thoroughly, though she preferred Bieber’s first set for its unpredictability.

“He brought back so many hit songs during both of his performances,” Krejsa said.

“I personally think his first performance was the best with his unpredictable setlist and [stripped-back stage] set.”

Hoban Intervention Specialist Jenna Congeni also enjoyed Bieber’s first set for similar reasons.

“I liked the first one the best because at first he seemed [to] not [be] super into his performance,” Congeni said. “But then, as the set went on, he seemed way more into it and was singing in the voice that he used to sing in, his higher voice.”

Simply put, based on his audience’s reaction, Bieber’s use of unexpected special guests and his unique approach to both sets has arguably put his two Coachella performances among the greatest of all time.

The online view numbers support this status as well: with over 147 million views so far, Bieber’s performance is officially the most-viewed Coachella performance in history.

‘MICHAEL’ DELIGHTS VIEWERS

REVIEW BY GRIFFEN WAUGH

The new Michael Jackson movie, simply titled “Michael,” was released in theaters on April 24 this year. Chronicling the King of Pop’s journey from his start in the Jackson 5 up to his recordbreaking tour for the “Bad” album, Michael is portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson, with supporting cast members including Miles Teller and Mike Myers.

While critical reception has been mostly poor, audience reception has been overwhelmingly positive so far, with “Michael” receiving a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes’ “Popcornmeter,” which measures audience reviews.

Sophomore Zach Griffin thoroughly enjoyed the movie, praising Jafaar Jackson’s performance in particular.

“It was really good,” Griffin

said. “I liked Jafaar Jackson’s performance as Michael; everything he did was very similar to Michael Jackson in real life.”

Spanish teacher Amy Zeller has not seen the film, but is keeping her expectations high.

“I really hope that they did a great job in representing Michael Jackson and who he was,” Zeller said. “I hope with [Jafaar’s] familial connection that [he did] an amazing job because he knew his uncle a bit.”

‘THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU’

REVIEW BY LILY OBHOF

In a galaxy far far away, a bounty hunter teamed up with a baby. On May 22, the Mandalorian made his first appearance in theaters, gracing the big screen with “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.” After three seasons and a crossover with Boba Fett, a Mandalorian movie has finally been released.

With the recent release of the trailer, fans have seen that the Mandalorian (full name Din Djarin) and Grogu are on a mission for the New Republic, tracking down Jabba the Hutt’s son. The movie is designed so that people who have not yet seen the show can still enjoy it

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ TAKES OFF

REVIEW BY KORBEN HAHN

The movie adaptation of Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary” is a cinematic masterpiece, capturing the frantic energy and scientific optimism that made the novel so popular. For fans of the book, the film is a masterclass in translation. It strips away the long pacing without losing the scientific comedy that defines Ryland Grace’s journey to save the Earth.

and follow along.

“I hope it continues the show’s emotional beats and amazing cinematography,” said sophomore Colette Snell. “I have high hopes.”

Freshman Ben Gosche watched the movie on opening night.

“It was almost a surreal experience seeing everyone dressed up in the theater, being almost completely filled,” Gosche said.

The movie is said to live up to the expectations of a Star Wars movie, continuing the story laid out by the series.

“It was a great movie to just sit back, relax and let things happen,” Gosche said.

Ryan Gosling does an amazing job portraying Grace during the emotional and comedic scenes which show him developing an actual relationship with the alien creature Rocky. The heart of the story remains the unexpected, touching bond between Grace and Rocky.

While the book relied on long descriptions of Eridian biology, the movie uses stunning visual effects to bring Rocky to life, making his and Grace’s “fist bump” moments feel even more impactful on the big screen. Ultimately, “Project Hail Mary” succeeds because it treats the audience with intelligence. It is a thrilling, feel-good epic that proves science and friendship are the ultimate survival tools. Whether you have read the book or not, this is a must-watch.

‘DEVIL WEARS PRADA’ RETURNS

REVIEW BY DEIDRE DRENSKY

Nearly 20 years after the original movie became a pop culture obsession, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” has officially arrived.

The original movie delivered unforgettable fashion, sharp humor and some of the most quoted lines in pop culture history.

“I always loved Andy’s transformation in the movie and how confident she became, and I always hated her lame boyfriend,” said Art Teacher Elaina Karafilis.

The sequel brings the themes into a much more modern setting. This time, Runway magazine is struggling to stay relevant in a world dominated by social media, influencers, artificial intelligence, and the decline of print journalism. Andy is pulled

back into the chaos as the magazine faces corporate pressure and public scrutiny.

“I think I was expecting the sequel to have a lot of references to the original, but the second movie really surprised me. It had a lot of reminiscent moments without being cliche, and I adored the character and relationship developments,” said Karaflis.

“I’m glad they kept true to the characters and that they had a new and interesting story to tell,”

Beneath the designer clothes and glamorous setting, this movie is ultimately about ambition and the pressure to succeed, something all audiences can relate to. Those themes are just as relevant today as they were in 2006. That’s
