![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. 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)

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].”

Coffee for a cause
NHS members carrying donation boxes gather around for a picture at the Roaster’s fundraiser. On Wed.

On Wednesday, Dec. 9 at the Roasters coffee shop, National Honor Society held a fundraiser raising money to aid victims of the Bastrop fires. There was also a performance by the GNP improv troupe, a branch of PNG which is no longer a school sponsored association.
Prospective member freshman Olivia Cantrell attended the event with her sister and some of her friends.
“I really loved the show and the setting. It felt cool to be in a place outside of school and out in the community,” Cantrell said. “To support them I bought some drinks and donated a ton of my change, I also told a ton of friends to come.”
The event took place from seven to nine p.m., and many NHS members, such as junior Dean Torkleson, attended and greatly enjoyed the skits and coffee.
“I always enjoy watching the ‘Devil’s Workshop’ game, and this time it didn’t fail to impress. I enjoy it because it’s hard for the performers to reach a dead end when twice the number of people are trying to drive the action,” Torkleson said. “I haven’t been a part of NHS for very long, in fact, aside from induction and cleaning up Milburn a while back, this is the only NHS event I’ve attended. I’m not sure how it compares to others like it, but if they hold more shows by GNP, I’ll be happy to go.”
The GNP group was glad for the opportunity to perform, according to senior NHS Vice president and GNP member Claire Cantrell.
“My favorite part of preforming at Roaster’s was that it’s such an intimate space and the shows seem more personal,” Cantrell said. “My favorite skit that we played on Wednesday was musical improv. It’s usually really hard to do but we were able to make it work.”
The fundraiser went well, and NHS made $80 for the fire relief efforts. NHS has declared it a success and overall Cantrell and others enjoyed themselves greatly.
“I stayed back for a while and talked about our performance with my fellow members while enjoying a delicious smoothie,” Cantrell said. “It was great to see all of the people who came out.”
