“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

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)

Hours spent working, and months worth saving, he finally has the car of his dreams. He sits in his garage, adding tons of modifications, wanting to perfect the look of his car. Senior Andrew Giguere didn’t spend money for a over a year in order to buy a sports car.
Giguere bought a 2012 Ford Mustang and went a full 18 months without spending money on anything but food and gas for his previous car. He was inspired to do this in hopes of getting a more efficient vehicle on his own terms.
“My old car was an SUV and it was two years younger than my mustang,” Giguere said. “It was kind of a mom car, and I wanted something more sporty, so I saved my money and bought my new car. Even though it’s a little older it’s in really good condition because the previous owner took great care of it.”
Giguere said there were lots of factors that went into choosing this specific car. From safety to looks, Giguere said he found a perfect car considering his non-negotiable terms.
“It was just a really good fit,” Giguere said. “It’s an automatic, six cylinder, less insurance money, and the mileage was low when we bought it, so we were able to get it for a really good price.”
Giguere had to go a week without driving it after the initial purchase to add the finishing touches. Due to the age of the Mustang he had to improve the safety features and replace a few necessary parts.
“When I bought the car we knocked the price down by $3,500,” Giguere said. “I had to buy a new water pump and all new tires. The price being lowered is one of the main reasons I was able to buy the car. If the buyer had kept it at the same price I would have walked away without it.”
As of now, Giguere is continuously adding onto his car. In addition he’s added automatic headlights and a new stereo.
“It’s hard not driving it,” Giguere said. “I enjoy driving my friends around, but it’s also a lot of fun working on it to improve the looks and feel of my car.”
As Giguere continues on with his love for cars he also plans on taking what he’s learned with him to college at Arizona State University. From budgeting and negotiating, Giguere will be studying finance to learn more about what he’s experienced through this process.
“I realized what it’s like to really invest money into something,” Giguere said. “I worked a lot, only spent money on gas for my previous car, and realized that I don’t like spending money.”
