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].”

I can remember when I first entered high school, I had the complete wrong idea about what to expect. All of my knowledge was based on teen movies I used to watch with my older sister. Because my perspective of high school was so warped, I now feel it necessary to break these misconceptions about high school in general.
Now, most people between the ages of 13 and 18 have seen a teen movie in some shape or form. Whether it be 10 Things I Hate About You or Mean Girls, most teen movies have a similar theme. No matter how many different ways you spin it, the most intriguing notion about all these movies is that they depict the picture perfect idea of finding your true soul mate in your adolescent years.
High School myth #1: You will meet the love of your life while in high school.
It’s a wonderful thought for most girls, having a super cute boyfriend all through high school and being the “it” couple. But in reality, the average high school relationship lasts about six months and most don’t end peacefully. These movies are deceiving to most naïve girls because it leads them to think that their prince is waiting for them in the hallways. Unfortunately, this is not the case in almost all relationships. Sure it’s fun for a while but then life gets in the way and it ends. The whole reason for high school relationships is basically to practice for relationships in the future. Any girl or guy who says they’re “in love” and have found “the one” are clearly in a state of delusion. As high schoolers, we have not yet reached the maturity level to truly know what love is and how it feels. I’ve seen couple after couple declare their love for each other then two weeks later begin dating other people. Whether it’s cheating or boredom, high school relationships end for all different reasons, as they should. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t date while in high school, but I think it’s pointless to claim that you’re in love with someone when in a few months you might not even be speaking to that person.
My suggestion: date around, have fun and don’t get too tied down. After all, you’re only in high school once; you might as well make the most of it. Nobody wants to look back twenty years from now and wish they had done something differently.
