![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].”

Keys start clicking rapidly, gracefully moving across the keyboard as code flies across the screen. Data flows through the wires like a gushing river into the receiver. Gears whirr, parts creak and wheels spin as senior Maci Tu’s latest creation comes alive.
Tu is a senior who is heavily involved with the robotics program. Aside from being the president, Tu builds and designs her own bots, making her a force to be reckoned with during her team’s competitions. Tu has been in robotics for two years, but says she didn’t always have her sights set on the club.
“Honestly, I joined because it was a really hot day, and I was trying to get out of tennis practice after school,” Tu said. “One of my friends said she was coming to the robotics room, and I was kind of interested, so I followed her.”
Currently, Tu is in the process of testing out her newest bot. It can drive, pick up and place objects, and can even pull itself upwards like a gymnast. Tu designed the robot’s parts herself online, and printed them out of aluminum using a machine.
“The first time I designed something on the computer myself, and then actually made it in real life was so satisfying,” Tu said. “That was just a feeling that I kept on chasing after that. It was an aluminum plate that I had designed with a triangle pattern. And when I made it on the computer, I went to go to our C and C room, which has a huge aluminum cutting machine that you upload code onto. I uploaded my design code onto it and it cut the pattern out and it was really cool.”
Tu hopes her time in robotics will prepare her to major in mechanical or electrical engineering in college, and says she still wishes to minor in some sort of robotics program. Until then, she continues to rep the robotics team day and night.
“Almost all of my free time is in robotics,” Tu said. “I barely even see my own family anymore. But when I do have free time, I’m probably hanging out with my friends or family, going out to eat and shopping.”
