“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

The homecoming court was presented at halftime at the football game against Eastview Friday night. Seniors LuLu Lynch and Reid Cummins were named homecoming king and queen, respectively.
“It’s like a scrapbook moment,” Cummins said. “It feels really weird and cool. It’s really crazy to have all these people looking at you.”
The rest of the senior court was composed of Isla Powell, Ella Baker, Jacob Slaughter, and Noah Levy.
“It was definitely a shock to be named senior princess,” Powell said. “I’ve never thought about being senior princess, but it was a really amazing high school experience. It was a really good way to start off my senior year.”
Lynch said that she is close to all of the other senior princesses and wishes that they could have won.
“Everyone on the homecoming court was absolutely amazing,” Lynch said. “I love all of them. They were all so nice.”
For the underclassmen, a duke and duchess were crowned from each grade based on popular vote. For the freshmen, Mia Ritchey and Diego Navarro won. Sophomores Averie Dominguez and Jackson Rocha earned the title for their grade, and Nevaeh Yu and Alex Gallimore were presented as junior duke and duchess.
“It felt really good [to be named sophomore duchess],” Dominguez said. “It feels really nice knowing that I have people out there who are able and willing to vote for me. It was just really special, and it was a really enjoyable moment.”
Cummins and Lynch were also named junior duke and duchess last year. A few mishaps occurred when Lynch was crowned, including the crown and sash repeatedly falling off.
“It was definitely hilarious,” Lynch said. “I was just like ‘of course, this is happening. Something had to go wrong.’ We’ve got to keep it memorable though. We want people to remember us.”
