As the spring sports season approaches, the Bishop Manogue Varsity boy's lacrosse team is preparing to open in what could be their strongest season yet. Coming out of a strong 2025 season, the team is entering this year with heightened expectations, a tougher schedule, and a group of players who have grown together on and off the field. The 2026...

We as a school community greatly value and appreciate the faith, guidance, and love that grandparents and godparents provide to all of the students. In order to celebrate their love, join us for afternoon tea! This event will...

Ash Wednesday is the day everyone knows as having dirt on your forehead, but there is a way deeper meaning. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, but that still doesn’t explain the reasoning for the “dirt” crosses on your forehead. Those crosses are ashes, not dirt. They come from the palm leaves from Palm Sunday of the year prior. The ashes...

The Dodger's this past season had a total Salary cost of $350 million, with five players making over $20 million. The luxury tax is supposed to stop stuff like this, but when you can afford to pay every superstar you want, the "penalties" basically don't matter. Even the 50% tax only kicks in after three straight years over the line, and most of the...

Every year people argue about when it’s "appropriate" to start celebrating Christmas. Some say you absolutely can’t play Christmas music or put up decorations until Thanksgiving is over. That rule needs to be overruled. Christmas should start right after Halloween - and Thanksgiving should be part of the holiday spirit instead of being isolated. Once...

Parents have been dropping off their kids in the student parking area, effectively taking over the adjacent roundabout and making it incredibly difficult for the students to park and get to school on time. From last year alone, 5+ minutes of traffic have been added onto the commute to school, and this has increased every single year at Manogue. It is...

The hallways are supposed to help us get to class, not feel like traffic. Underclassmen and upperclassmen alike stand in the hallways, blocking people from getting to their classes. Freshmen should be taught hallway etiquette because clear expectations would make passing period faster and far less frustrating for everyone. While some people may argue...

Two laps and a pair of UGGs - Olivia Taylor runs her way into Manogue history. Senior Olivia Taylor crushed administration’s challenge to complete two laps around the track in under 4 minutes and 45 seconds, abolishing the dress code policy that prohibited students from wearing UGG Tasmans. Her victory has not only changed the dress code for all...

Ever since AI tools and ChatGPT became popular, schools nationwide have reacted with fear and frustration. A lot of them have tried to block these websites or have cracked down on anything that looks like it has been AI generated or has AI in it. I understand the concern that they have, some students really do take shortcuts, and teachers are trying...

At the end of the school day, no one wants to sit and wait in the parking lot. Yet many afternoons, students trying to leave campus are stuck for nearly thirty minutes because parents use the student driver parking lot as an unofficial pick up zone. Instead, parents should be required to use the roundabout for pick up because the current situation traps...

College sports is loved and adored by so many fans. The underdog in a college football game that pulls off an upset, the epic comebacks, the great plays and catches is what makes college football what it is. However, in recent years, College sports has been facing a spending epidemic. Colleges have been spending more and more on players for their teams....

Bishop Manogue High School should bring back the iconic BBQ chicken mac & cheese for school lunch. This lunch item is a favorite among students, but unfortunately hasn't been seen much on the menu as of last year. In the 2025-2026 school year, BBQ chicken mac & cheese will only be served once, whereas in the 2024-2025 school year, students reported...

On October 29th, 2025, Olivia Taylor amended the dress code. Earlier that day, she was dress-coded for wearing Ugg Tasman Slippers. Unhappy with the potential detention from the dress code, she asked Mr. Ghileri why students at Manogue weren't allowed to wear Ugg slippers.  Mr. Ghileri responded that in the case of an emergency, the shoes would likely...

Manogue, known for its well-funded, winning sports teams, needs to start redirecting some of that funding to its Performing Arts Department, specifically the Spring Musical. The Musical is in dire need of better funding, not only to offer more feasible musical choices, reduce stress among those involved, and allow for a better performance, but also...

Every year, as the October season of Halloween ends and the winter season approaches, people begin to take down their Halloween decorations and begin to decorate for Christmas. Or if you are stores like Target or Hobby Lobby, you might have even decorate prior to the Halloween season. Christmas music begins playing, and that one Mariah Carey song gets...

As the current grading system stands, teachers are required to give corrections for all summative assessments. This can be hard for some teachers who don't have a large amount of time to do corrections, and can be problematic for students with busy schedules, who don't have much time for corrections. Grading assignments on a curve instead of doing...

One thing I truly love about Manogue is how many school events we get to put on. These events make the school feel alive and give us all a chance to connect outside of the classroom, while still being at school. Of course, I wish we could have even more, but events cost money, and budgets can be tight. This is why I personally recommend Karaoke Night....

The word of God was spread through word of mouth. The world language used to be Latin, the literal language from which our English language is based, and yet, this vital piece of our history is no longer taught. Should this language, which is vital to our Catholic history of bringing people together in the church, be forgotten? While the Latin language...

At the beginning of the 2025 school year, Student Body President Haedynn Maldonado stood up in front of the Associated Student Body class and announced that she needed to recruit a number of students to perform a flash mob at the annual Building A Scholastic Heritage (BASH) fundraiser. As a fundraiser reserved for parents, staff, and alumni, she decided...
