![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)

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].”

Self Motivation
Junior Self Motivates, Excels in School After Moving to U.S.
Junior Kate Lee stands in front of the audience playing her flute. “I do music lessons for kids with disability or financial needs at Music Eunited,” Lee said. “It’s so heartwarming and fun when volunteering. I think it’s just the people that make me get involved. I love meeting different types of people and having conversations with them. It’s interesting to see how different their personalities and interests are.”

Junior Kate Lee moved here only three and a half years ago from South Korea, and has since joined ten clubs at school, and plays four instruments, all while taking
“One of the main reasons that I’m in many clubs is because I want to get involved in many communities,” Lee said. “Also, I think clubs are good ways to have an exposure to specific subjects and areas before you actually decide to go into that field. Since I’m in the procedure of deciding what I want to do in the future, clubs help me a lot in my decision-making.”
Lee also plays various instruments such as guitar, flute and violin, but mainly focuses on piano, as she’s been playing it since she was seven and said it helps her relieve stress. She does music lessons for kids with disabilities or financial needs at Music Eunited.
“It’s so heartwarming and fun when I’m volunteering,” Lee said. “I think it’s just the people that make me get involved. I love meeting different types of people and having conversations with them. It’s interesting to see how different their personalities and interests are.”
Lee is also involved in Math UIL, and said that she wants to get faster and more accurate in her number sense skills.
“Number sense is the equivalent of mental math, which means that all of the calculations have to be done mentally, without any paper or calculators,” Lee said. “We are given eighty questions to solve in ten minutes, and if there’s any mark or calculations on the paper, that question is marked wrong.”
Lee said that number sense is challenging, and she used to be overwhelmed by it.
“As I learned more tricks and principles behind the calculations, I became really interested in this branch,” Lee said. “This became my strongest among the three branches of math in Math UIL.”
While some students have parents pushing them to do a lot in school and outside of school, Lee said she is the one behind her motivation and chooses to be motivated on her own accord.
“It’s mostly myself who motivates me to work hard because I don’t like not giving 100 percent to something,” Lee said. “The satisfaction that comes after hard work makes me so content. Even though hard work doesn’t guarantee my success, I can see myself improving and getting mature through the experiences.”
