![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].”

Valentine’s day can be depressing if you’re single; however, there are solutions for the lonely-hearted. Dwelling on the obvious can lead to being unhappy on an otherwise uplifting day. There are many positive outlooks and activities available for single people on February 14.
Pursue your passion.
Whatever it is that you are passionate about in life (be it a particular hobby, travel, craft projects, charitable acts, etc.) use this day to make great strides by just doing that. This is also known as drowning yourself in productivity. As long as it’s something you are completely driven to succeed at, then you will still be having fun while accomplishing great things at the same time.
Cherish your friends.
Invite your single friends over and marvel over the fact that you don’t have to take time to impress anyone with your appearance. Your friends like you for you, not your new dress, heels, or lipstick that you’ll wear once. Laugh about all the memories you have made together and realize that this relationship will last longer than a couple of months. One awkward first date or boring hundredth date doesn’t measure up with spending time with really good friends.
Pamper yourself.
Spend Valentine’s Day doing exactly what YOU want to do. Having a day just for yourself is said to be therapeutic for some. Purchase that shirt that you were eyeing that was a little out of your price range. Get take-out from your favorite restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious meal (and have no guilt after finishing it). Do not answer your phone or door. Do nice things for yourself the entire day. Looking and feeling more refreshed will be the payoff for a day like this.
Acts of service.
Singles can spend Valentine’s Day in a meaningful way by spending time with the needy. Touching others’ lives can be more fulfilling than receiving gifts on Valentine’s Day. What better way to show your appreciation for others than to spend your time and money on others who truly are in need. Lending a helping hand will make you realize how many blessings you really do have in your single life.
