![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].”

Standing on the side of the pool, senior Ella Mongenel waits for the sound of the whistle while breathing in the chlorine in the air. She puts her goggles on and takes off her parka. After two sharp sounds, she steps up onto the block. She prepares for the race ahead of her while awaiting the starting whistle. She hears the whistle, and pushing off the block, she dives into the cold pool.
Mongenel and the rest of the team competed at the district meet at Round Rock Aquatic Center on Jan. 23. Twenty-one swimmers advanced to the regional meet, which will take place Feb. 7-8 at Texas A&M University.
“I’m really excited for the regional meet,” Mongenel said. “I’m excited to continue bringing the hype [at regionals] and get some [representation] at state. Hopefully, I’ll [drop time] and get some first place finishes.”
Mongenel, who is committed to swim at The University of Texas, was named the female swimmer of the meet, after placing first in all of her events: 50 free, 100 free, 400 freestyle relay and the 200 medley relay. She swam the medley relay with sophomore Leah Cho, junior Addie Vogan and senior Savanna Williamson and the freestyle relay with Cho, junior Lauren Lucas and freshman Evelyn Richards.

“[Relays] are really exciting,” Mongenel said. “Realizing that you’re swimming with your teammates, as a team, is super awesome. It’s a lot more hype and chanting for each other. We really look out for each other as a team.”
Senior Parker Huang, one of this season’s team captains, advanced in the 100 fly and 100 breast and 200 medley relay. He swam the fly leg of the boys’ medley relay.
“It’s been really exciting to see everyone make it [to regionals],” Huang said. “There’s been a lot more people who have been advancing than last year, so it’s really awesome to see that.”
Senior Ryder Wilkinson swam the 200 IM, 100 fly and 200 freestyle relay, and advanced in all three events.
“I’m excited to hang out with my friends and swim fast at regionals,” Wilkinson said. “It may be my last meet since I’m a senior, which makes it more important. I’ll probably never see a lot of these people again, so it’ll be cool to share that last moment with my friends.”
