![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. 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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Taking a picture of Photography club
The photo club compares different photos that each of the members took. The assignment was given the meeting before and members had the chance to take them last time the club met. “Looking at different photos helps give me specific ideas,” Bosse said. “It also gives me inspiration and a deadline I can reach.”

This year at CPHS, Photography Club’s already started. The arrival of the club’s sponsor Tiffany Asha sparked the beginning of the club along with the president senior Lexi Rima.
Sophomore Madison Jaster feels that photo club is a better choice for her interest wise.
“I joined because of Mrs. Asha,” Jaster said. “We worked together this summer and told me about the photo club. And since art club wasn’t for me, I decided to join photo club instead. It’s been great being here and learning about photography.”
Photography Club usually starts with a quick lesson on DSLR cameras on shutter speeds, ISO and other settings on the cameras. After the lesson, the members bring up some of their favorite pictures from the assignment taken from the last meeting or outside of the club. Then they show the class, who critique or comment on the pictures. Sophomore Amanda Bosse likes about the club meetings.
“I think it will help a lot of photographers that don’t really know what they’re doing and help them grow,” Bosse said. “ It also gives the people who know what they’re doing on the cameras and like taking pictures, more opportunities to take photos. This is a great way to fit into my schedule since I really like taking pictures, but can’t always fit it into my classes or outside of school. So this way I get to take more photos.”
Photography Club meets on Wednesdays after school in B102 at 4:05 pm. After a quick lesson on cameras, the members get to go off campus to take pictures of different subjects.
