![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)

LISD Says Law Enforcement Has Found No Validity to Clown Threats, Will Remain Diligent in Investigating
October 4, 2016
In a statement released Tuesday by Leander ISD, the district said there is no cause to worry about the recent increase in clown threats as seen on social media.
“At this time, our law enforcement partners have found no validity to the threats, and students and staff are not in any danger,” the statement said.
The district also acknowledged that threats are being made across Central Texas and Austin area schools.
LISD ensures that their law enforcement partners, as well as administrators are working to make sure that students and staff are safe.
Students have been reacting to the various threats via social media.
Senior Cami Rettinger believes the threats are real.
“Because of the attention they have gotten, [I think] it has sparked others to dress up like clowns,” Rettinger said.
Junior Blake Miller feels it’s just people seeking attention.
“The social media hype has encouraged this sick behavior,” Miller said.
