![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)

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].”

![The fire department came to the school after students were evacuated when smoke started coming from the ceiling of a classroom. All students and staff are safe. “All of my friends left their stuff too, so we couldn’t contact our parents, and it was stressful,” senior Brynn Fowler said. “It was scary because I didn’t know [what was going on], and I couldn’t find anyone because it was a big crowd.” Photo by Anthony Garcia](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/firetruck.jpg)
Students and staff are safe after being forced to evacuate the school at around 11:15 a.m. on Thursday when smoke started coming from the ceiling of a classroom during sixth period AP Chemistry due to a broken motor in the AC, according to campus staff.
Senior Angelina Devayev was in the class where the smoke was noticed. Devayev said while students were taking a test, they noticed an unusual smell. Shortly after, smoke started pouring out of a vent in the ceiling.
“I really don’t know how to describe [the smell],” Devayev said. “Some people said it smelled like burning plastic. I was like ‘oh my gosh, I hope I didn’t get poisoned from breathing it in’.”
The fire alarm was pulled, and the school was evacuated through an announcement over the intercom. Senior Brynn Fowler, who was in AP Biology at the time of the announcement, left all of her belongings, including her phone, in the classroom.
“All of my friends left their stuff too, so we couldn’t contact our parents, and it was stressful,” Fowler said. “It was scary because I didn’t know [what was going on], and I couldn’t find anyone because it was a big crowd.”
The fire department arrived after about five minutes, and students were let back into the campus, excluding the science building, at around 11:30 a.m. By around noon, students were allowed back into the science building to gather their belongings.
“[I was hoping I would] at least get my stuff back by the end of the day,” Devayev said. “I didn’t [originally] know what I would do in my other classes. I was able to go back to Mrs. Trueblood’s class and grab it all [though].”
This was the first real evacuation incident this year. Students were prepared for what to do in case of an emergency through drills, including one that happened Tuesday.
During the evacuation, an AI-generated photo of the science building on fire circulated among students, leading to some confusion and worry. Campus staff confirmed there was no fire.
