![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].”

Boots are the trend for the spring season. The cost: 40 dollars. A new scandal has swept the parking lot, disappointing both the students and the faculty. In the second to last grading period of the school year, the administration decided to enforce the purchase of parking permits. Dana, the parking lot attendant, is on the search for the un-permitted cars of students who have been parking “illegally” in the student parking lot. A note forebodingly warns that cars without permits will soon be booted, only to be unbooted with the purchase of a permit. This late in the year, the approach to enforcing the policy is uncalled for and futile.
Good intentions don’t always translate over well. In this case, any sign of intentions would help. The administration has made the consequences clear, but the reasons behind them vague. Without the student body being informed of the purpose of parking passes, the administration won’t have much success convincing students who have been parking for free all year to make a 40 dollar purchase. Students must see the worth in a parking permit in order to invest.
If the administration is concerned with fairness to all students, the students as a whole should be contacted. Sure, some students paid at the beginning of the year and some didn’t. If students are unhappy with fellow classmates parking without paying, students should be the ones asking for a change. Sure, school isn’t quite a democracy. However, students are the sole ones affected, so students should be the ones seeking a change.
Many students are questioning the school’s authority to boot cars. Is parking for free illegal or simply against school rules? Yet again, the administration has failed to translate information to the students. Breaking the law is one thing, and parking for free in a free parking lot is another. Had the administration been so concerned with the necessity of permits, faculty members would have enforced the purchase much earlier in the year. Only then would the policy be slightly effective.
By threatening students, school morale is threatened as a whole. The response to the new policy has been completely negative, posing the students against the administration in yet another power battle. Last year, the gate was the new addition to the parking lot. This year, boots are coloring the cars. With summer in sight, boots should be the last thing on students’ minds. Car boots are simply out of season.
