![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)
![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”

Lights shimmer and fall as the performers hit the stage. Giant props descend from the heavens to set the perfect scene as the play continues. Colors shine and shift with the performers as they galivant across the stage. However what you don’t see is the wild clacking of buttons and gizmos bringing the show to life, as senior Michael Zolidis watches closely from his domain above the audience.
Zolidis is head theater tech director and is planning to major in history at The University of South Carolina. He plays a major role in managing everything behind the scenes for a majority of theater’s performances in the PAC, such as “Elf” and “Grease,” theater’s annual haunted house and much more. Zolidis says his most memorable moment in theater tech was when he and other lighting staff spent the night in the PAC fixing and rigging up the final touches for Theater’s production of the award winning play “Elf.”
“During ‘Elf’ tech week, we were far behind on lighting,” Zolidis said. “So me and Brenden Kellicker, along with our boss, Mr. Paz, stayed until 8 a.m. the next morning just working through the show.”
Zolidis says he also loves being a part of other events associated with the school as well, from running the school flags on the football field during games, to hyping up the student section. However, Zolidis says that his favorite of them all was Senior Assassin.
“I loved it because I was able to meet a lot of different people and get closer with a bunch of others,” Zolidis said. “I wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity if I didn’t play the game.”
Although Zolidis is the ultimate hype-man when it comes to any crowd, he says he greatly values his friends and family for pushing him through the bad days and to realize how far he’s grown not only as a graduating senior in high school, but as a reliable colleague and friend. He says he is very excited to see what the future holds for him and is ready to take it on anyway he can.
“I see myself after graduation working as a Historian, traveling, while still remaining close with a lot of my friends,” Zolidis said. “My advice is to find your people and to do what you love no matter what anyone says.”
