![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)

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].”

Rushing to set things up, making sure camera shots are steady, scrolling through the script and getting dressed to perfection. Every morning at 7:15 a.m., the broadcast students prepare to go live on Youtube to film The Wolfcast.
The Wolfcast has been on air since 2007, going under several iterations and changes. Run by the broadcast class, The Wolfcast aims to engage the student body with local news and creative and innovative content.
On Feb. 20, the staff went on a winter retreat for three days down at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in order to strengthen their creative skills, talk to professional newscasters and tighten their overall bond by making short films. Second-year reporter, sophomore Drew Johnson, said the retreat allows them to expand their creativity and storytelling ability.
“When we’re brought together, we have more ideas,” Johnson said. “We have time to talk to each other about stories, and most of all, the winter retreat can be a story. I think bringing us together on the winter retreat really made us think about working together as a team.”
First-year reporter and freshman Colton Alderman also shared a similar experience.
“The winter retreat was a really fun experience,” Alderman said. “We got to do a lot of team building activities. I just think it was a really fun way to spend the time with my friends.”
Alderman is one of three freshmen who joined the staff in 2024 and has taken a fond affinity in tech and production for The Wolfcast, despite being fresh on the scene.
“Just learning all the little niches of things is a very useful skill,” Alderman said. “In a tech world where there’s a lot of tech things coming up, it is really beautiful to know all those things.”
These reporters aren’t without struggle however, as Johnson said he experiences writer’s block and brainstorming during the initial planning stages.
“I think the biggest struggle with broadcast for me is finding the perfect part of that story,” Johnson said. “There are many websites and there are people who know more information than me, so mostly putting it all together in one piece is kind of difficult for me.”
Despite the spikes in difficulty from time to time, these reporters say they enjoy their time in the class, and are proud of the work they export.
“I’m proud to be in broadcast because it fulfills all of my hobbies and interests,” Alderman said. “I’m working on a personal project right now called ‘Severance: A Wolfcast Story’ and it’s been very fun so far. I’ve gotten a lot of help from people in the class who share similar interests as me.”
