![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].”

Can you imagine the whole school knowing code? Computer science teacher Cheri Whalen can. On Wed. Dec. 11 Whalen hosted an “Hour of Code” along with thousands of other schools across the U.S. as part of Computer Science Education Week.
Over 130 CPHS students attended the “Hour of Code” throughout first, second and third period. During the hour, they were taught how to program an electronic holiday card with help from the students in Whalen’s Computer Science II class.
Plenty of tech-savvy students attended, including aspiring video game designer sophomore Collin Niemietz.
“It seemed like a fun way to learn more programming,” Niemietz said.
However, not all attendees had overwhelming experience with computers. Junior Jon David went with his architecture class with no experience and now wants to take a computer science class.
“The tutorial was really easy to use and it’s really fun to program,” David said.
For junior David Bonsall, who helped all the attendees along with the rest of the computer science class, the “Hour of Code” was about bettering the student body.
“I think it will help people out by helping them better understand how computers work,” Bonsall said. “It shows them that software isn’t really just a bunch of random numbers and letters just floating around in the computer.”
Bonsall, who hopes to become an engineer, also pointed out how crucial it is for students to learn about technology.
“With so much technology around, it makes sense that we should at least have an idea of how stuff works,” Bonsall said.
This, Whalen says, was her goal when she decided to conduct an “Hour of Code”
“I think the future of all students will be greatly impacted by technology,” Whalen said. “Every person in my students’ generation should know a minimal amount about computers and what makes a computer work.”
Now that Computer Science Education Week is over, Whalen is focused on expanding next year’s “Hour of Code”
“My goal would be for every student to have some experience with computer science before they graduate,” Whalen said.
