Freshmen campaigns in full swing
Freshmen candidates hung elections posters around the school hoping to gain their classmates’ votes.
November 4, 2014
As the voting season for the country nears, the freshmen have their own campaigns going on.
In the running for Freshman Class President are Jessica Mick, Daniel Williamson and Gregory Phea. Vice President candidates are Hannah Loera and Josh Schultze. Running unchallenged for secretary is Alexandra Allen, and running for treasurer, also unchallenged, is Mina Kim.
Student Council sponsor and science teacher Mr. Babich believes that Freshman Elections are an important part of school life.
“Freshman should and do have a say in what goes on in their school,” Babich said. “Getting them involved in the processes early on in their high school career allows them to build possible changes for the school.”
Jessica Mick is running for freshman class president and having fun in the process.
“It’s given me a chance to talk to more of my classmates and also I liked making posters and I really had fun writing my speech,” Mick said. “I personally really like public speaking, so preparing and filming a speech for the class was pretty exciting.”
Gregory Phea is also running for class president, and want to increase relations and support between Student Council and all the organizations of the school.
“Running for office at times can be quite stressful due to the risk of loss,” Phea said. “But at the same time it can be quite enjoyable as you meet new people and compete against opponents for the top spot.”
Freshman Hannah Loera is running for Vice President this year, and says that she would like to contribute fresh ideas to the school.
“Even though we are considered lowest on the totem pole, we have as much to offer as the upperclassmen,” Loera said. “This election is important because it encourages stronger relationships throughout the student body and allows more collaboration within the school.”
Voting will be Nov. 3 through 5, and students will vote through Naviance.

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].”
