![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)

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)
![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”

If someone were to say bananas, they would get a poem about the fruit and its wonderful color. If someone said pizza, they would get a poem about its cheesy taste and variety of toppings. If someone were to say any topic or idea, they will get a personalized poem just for them on the spot.
Typewriter Rodeo is an organization that turns people’s ideas into personalized poems to celebrate National Poetry Month. On April 29, the event will be in the library and is being organized by National English Honor Society (NEHS), English teacher Kim Vidrine and Librarian Keri Burns.
“Who doesn’t want a personalized poem?” Vidrine said. “I think it feels wonderful to know that someone made something just for you, and I hope it will inspire students to love poetry.”
Two stations will be set up on each side of the library, with one of the organization’s poets in each station ready with their typewriters for anyone who wants to participate. Afterwards, the student can keep the poem as a memory.
“When [students] participate in this activity, it allows them to almost be inspired by the writer’s ability to think so fluidly on the spot,” senior NEHS president Taylor Lambert said. “It’s like improv.”
Vidrine, Lambert and Burns recommend students to just try out the activity and not worry about others reading their poems.
“Be prepared to be inspired,” Burns said. “It’s really neat to have that ability to think off the cuff and be spontaneous, and I hope that it helps our students want to be spontaneous and be open to that kind of writing.”
For next year, NEHS members and teachers are considering the possibility of hosting Typewriter Rodeo again.
“It all depends on the funding we have and the level of interest CPHS shows this year,” Lambert said. “I would love to continue bringing in community members to encourage poetry and writing amongst the students.”
Burns said that to make the most out of the event, students should think about being open to poetry and being spontaneous and not overcorrecting or overcritical.
“We’ve had lots of author visits, and they always talk about how many edits and revisions their books go through,” Burns said. “Sometimes, they’ve rewritten the entire book like four times which is all real and true, but there’s also this other beautiful side to having something that you can’t go back and change, so just go with it and go with the flow.”
