![Students drew chalk art in honor of Veterans day. This is just one of many things the school does to show appreciation to veterans, and the art will remain in the courtyard as a reminder of all of the veterans who served their country. “On veteran’s day, I think it’s a great thing we do at school to honor people that served [who are] at our school or family members,” English teacher and cheer coach Nadira King said. “It makes me feel proud, and it makes me remember the [veterans].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Capture.png)
![Sucking in a breath of air, freshman Lily Pope competes in the 200 yard individual medley. On Oct. 25, the swim team competed in the AISD Swim Invitational. Overall, the girls team took second place and the boys team came in eleventh. “My favorite stroke is butterfly because I do the best in that stroke,” Pope said. “I feel like [butterfly] can test how [your ability] to convince yourself to keep going. The hardest part of swimming is convincing yourself to stay strong and keep pushing during a hard race [when] everything is tired.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/POPE-1200x804.jpg)
![Smiling at the camera, Author Ehigbor Okosun, members of Page Turners, and other students reflect on the author's visit. “I thought the visit was great,” Senior Amia De Leon said. “It was interesting talking to her and [getting to know] her process and her thoughts and books in general. But I think the reason it went well [was that] people got to ask questions. I'm glad that she said so much in response to the questions and it wasn't just one and done. [The author’s responses] felt very articulate.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sebastian-5-1200x800.jpg)

![Holding a wooden pizza toy, senior Taylor Peterson plays with small children in Bucaramanga, Colombia. During the summer, Peterson traveled to Colombia to help build an elementary school that only had two classrooms but five or six grades with one teacher. “We add[ed] two more classrooms,” Peterson said. “It’s kind of hard when you have two or three grades in one classroom and you only have one teacher. It’s very hard to actually get some beneficial learning. [The extra classrooms will give the students] a better quality of education because they’ll actually have a place specific for their learning.” Photo by Taylor Peterson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taylor-P.png)
![Swinging with his arm extended, senior Nolan Park hits the ball smoothly over the net and to the opponent’s side. Park is one of four varsity tennis captains and helped the team win district championships. “Winning district champs was a pretty awesome feeling,” Park said. “We had lost to Liberty Hill a couple of weeks before, but when we played them [again], we came out and really took care of business. We took them out and it was just a really awesome night.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Kassidy-419.jpg)

![WHAP Teacher and Glorious State Leader Mr. Peterson wears a helmet for protection. “It's not hard in this particular game to get students to turn on each other, in order to gain rewards or gain favor within a state setting, to not want to get in trouble.” Peterson said. “We do hold trials. I try to keep them not all crazy [or] fear based, but it is a little bit anxiety and fear produced when you're sitting in front of the classroom and the lights are out. When you start to remove faces from people, and identities, neutral identities, it's really easy to create hate around specific ideologies and groups of people."](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-21-105151.png)
![Senior Aidan Cox stands on a set piece of “Elf: The Musical,” belting his heart out. “It's absolutely a challenge [acting] and it always is within the industry,” Cox said. “But it is the one thing that I will find the most fulfilling. I got this piece of advice from someone that I had a voice lesson with once who told me that ‘If you can see yourself in any other career, do that. But if there is just something in the back of your mind that is telling you that you have to perform, those are the kinds of people who should be going into it.’”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/jane-110.jpg)

"Originally, I wanted to be an actor, but then I didn't want to because I'd have to catch up [in skills] to the other kids. So I decided to join tech, and I've never looked back.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/P1010905-1200x675.jpg)
