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)

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].”

WISE Club Starts In-Person Activities

Fieldtrips are a big part of WISE, bringing science outside of the classroom.

Goggles, gloves and test tubes fill the science room as WISE members prepare for new activities, such as experiments, talks with well-known scientists and even field trips to the Science Museum. After adapting science to an online environment, WISE, or Women in Science and Engineering members are ready to participate in hands-on activities back in the classroom.
“Last year we were very limited since we only talked about science articles and did Kahoots, but this year it’s a lot more fun since we are actually going to do a lot of hands-on experiments,” senior Vice President Harshini Addepalle said. “We plan on doing all kinds of scientific experiments, some biology experiments and some engineering experiments.”
With the introduction of these new chances to learn, members wish to emphasize what the club is all about.
“WISE promotes and celebrates women who have made contributions in the STEM field,” Addepelle said. “It aims to create a space where people who are passionate about STEM can find other people with the same interests as them and teach them about different jobs available in the field.”
According to Physics teacher and WISE sponsor, Allison Trueblood, WISE has been life-changing since the first day eight years ago. She said her own experience in STEM is motivation for the club.
“Being a young woman majoring in a scientific career, I didn’t feel like there were a lot of people like me, and I thought that it would be good to help grow the number of women who major in a STEM field,” Trueblood said.
Since 2012, WISE has a strong tradition of giving out the maximum amount of opportunities to students, including field trips.
“We have a couple of speakers coming this year,” Trueblood said. “We traditionally go to the UT campus and look at the telescopes and tour the campus at night, as well as go on other field trips to different science museums around.”
In addition to these, spontaneous experiments during meetings are not unusual either. The club also takes field trips to explore different aspects of the STEM programs
“Next meeting we are going to be making bath bombs,” senior President Hemani Goje said. “Field trips are also coming up very soon”WISE, although traditionally catered to women, is now a club open to any student looking to pursue a career in the STEM field. Meeting are every other Tuesday during DEN in Ms. Trueblood’s room.
