![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)

During his senior year, Malouff was able to meet lots of people while he was one of the student section leaders. “[My job] was to get everyone involved in the crowd,” Malouff said. “[I brought] the fun things like the trash cans, bells, costumes, whistles, whatever I could bring. Tissue paper, toilet paper, whatever it was. But it was less of a job and more just having fun with everyone.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jack-M.png)
Senior Jack Malouff’s goal when he started high school was to know one person at every lunch table. To accomplish this goal, he’s tried everything.
During his freshman and sophomore years, he played football and wrestled on the varsity team. During his junior year, Malouff became heavily involved in a student-led organization called Ignite. He was also a part of the Fellowship of Christian Students, or FCS, where he is co-president, and helped create the Pickleball Club. Malouff also participated in the “Grease” musical with a lead role playing Kenickie.
“While I may not know everyone, I’ve pretty much accomplished that goal,” Malouff said. “I’ve gotten to make friends with most kids in this school. I’ve gotten to meet a lot of kids and befriend them and pour into them. I think it’s so important that as a person you try out different things. I think everyone knows me because I’ve just been a smiling face. We have a great school and we have a lot of great kids.”
During his senior year, Malouff was able to meet many people while he was one of the student section leaders.
“[My job] was to get everyone involved in the crowd,” Malouff said. “[I brought] the fun things like the trash cans, bells, costumes, whistles, whatever I could bring. Tissue paper, toilet paper, whatever it was. But it was less of a job and more just having fun with everyone.”
Malouff’s favorite memory during the football season was the white-out game against Vandegrift.
“I was wearing a Moses costume,” Malouff said. “During the fight song we all went to the front and I got to bang on the trash cans with a stick and we all got super hyped and then threw tissue and toilet paper everywhere. That is my favorite memory just because of how intense everyone was screaming and how excited we all got for that game.”
This year Malouff and his co-president in FCS planned a Revival Night for the organization. It took place on the football field and had over 350 students in attendance. From week to week, Malouff and his co-president were responsible for organizing their weekly Tuesday DEN meetings.
“We all get to come together and support one another in our faith,” Malouff said. “It’s not like we’re all super close to each other, I don’t know a lot of the kids, but getting to have those conversations with them and know what they’re going through and being able to share wisdom this year has been important [to me]. It’s definitely kept me close in my faith and it’s encouraged me to be a better person and showed me what leadership takes and how to be involved in something.”
Malouff plans to attend a Christian bible college in Birmingham, Alabama with a full ride scholarship where he will major in visual arts with a minor in business. As he graduates high school, Malouff says he hopes to be remembered as someone everyone could be friends with.
“I hope I’m remembered as a person who made people feel valuable,” Malouff said. “Even if I had a short amount of time where I really got to know them, I hope I just impacted them with at least a smile or just a fun conversation.”
