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].”

Elections: what you need to know as a new voter
As election day quickly approaches, its time to make sure you educate yourself before you go out and vote.
February 8, 2016
Let’s talk politics. With election season fastly approaching we’ve been thrown back into a time of satirical SNL political openers, aggressive bumper stickers and the lovely little screaming matches we call the GOP debates. This election has been made special by a few things this year, those things being the anomaly which is Donald Trump, a *gasps* socialist democrat candidate and (on a smaller scale) the fact that CPHS’ class of 2016 will be eligible to vote. Election season is a scary time, with all the political jargon being thrown around and conflicting opinions it can be hard to understand what’s happening, let alone form your own opinions, so here’s what you need to know.
The primaries will start Tues. Mar 1, also known as Super Tuesday. This will be the start of elections. The primary election will be used to narrow the candidate field; a democratic and a republican candidate will be decided. It’s important because while it doesn’t mean only two people can vote, it will determine a single candidate for the two main parties.
Voting. In order to vote in said elections you have to register. You must register at least 30 days before you can officially vote. For those of us who are still 17, this means that you can register two months before your 18th birthday, and vote after you’ve turned 18.
Do your research. Watch the debates, read the paper, and educate yourself before you go out and vote, not only will this make you seem like a super cool person who knows what they’re saying, but it will also help you make a very serious decision when it comes time to vote. Saying, “anyone but Trump” won’t help you decide who the next leader of our country should be. When it comes down to it, voting is a very serious task and shouldn’t be taken lightly, help yourself and form your own opinion.
Talk to your friends. When trying to decide where you stand, talking or debating with your peers can help you figure out how you feel about a certain candidate. While your peers won’t always be the most trustworthy source, it’s always good to talk things out.
In the end, it’s up to you, not your parents, not your friends. Voting is a big responsibility, and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Educate yourself, talk it out, register and understand the great task that has been placed in your hand.
