![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)

Grandow finished fourth in the event and led the varsity girls to regionals with a third place placement as a team. “I’m very excited [to go to regionals],” Grandow said. “I’m excited to race in Corpus Christi, and we get to go to the beach, so that’s really awesome.” Photo by Addison Bruce](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/brianna.jpg)
Meet and Greet: Faculty
September 12, 2016
This year, not only has the CPHS faculty expanded by teachers, but new administrators as well.
Christina Hollander
Hollander worked at Vista Ridge High School as a counselor, then worked as a stay at home mom for her four kids before coming to CPHS to be our new lead counselor for last names that start with A-Co.
Q: What extracurricular activities were you in in high school?
A: I was on a group called the Firetruck Crew which was 12 seniors who had to try out and were chosen to be an additional spirit squad on the field for our football games. We had a 1930’s firetruck by the end zone and we’d run the siren when our team scored.
Q: What is your favorite movie and why?
A: The original “Foot Loose.” It’s a nostalgia thing for me because I watched it with my “Mama Susan” who was/is my mom’s best friend. It was my first “grown up” movie that I was allowed to watch.
Q: If you were in the Zombie Apocalypse, what would your role be?
A: I would like to I’d be an organizer who helps out wherever needed, but I know I’d be grabbing my kids and running.
Christy Foster
Foster is our new Nurse’s Assistant, and this will be her first year being one as in the last few years she was the Principal’s Secretary for an elementary school in Georgetown.
Q: What is your favorite movie and why?
A: “Hope Floats,” because of one of the famous quotes in the movie: “Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living.”
Q: If you were in the Zombie Apocalypse, what would your role be?
A: The peace maker.
