![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. 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 Wolfpack Staff’s Fall Pie Picks
Fun fact, Houston: Chocolate Pie is indeed a thing.
November 9, 2016
The Wolfpack Staff has a mean sweet tooth and wants to share their favorite Fall pies as Thanksgiving nears.
Reporter, Anjali Sundaram – Apple Pie
“Because I like to gorge on it while I watch my grades deteriorate into nothing.”
Reporter, Avery Deen – Pecan Pie
“My mom and I always make it, so it’s nostalgic and homey in addition to tasting amazing and sweet.”
Reporter, Carlie Morgan – Pumpkin Pie
“Because it’s like Halloween is still alive.”
Reporter, Jordy Peterson – Lemon Meringue Pie
“The flambe gives it a nice smokey flavor, and it’s spongy. I normally don’t like fruit pies but the lemon and meringue give it a nice flavor.”
Reporter, Houston Fuller – Chocolate Pie
“Is that a thing?”
Reporter, Victoria Sananikone – Key Lime Pie
“Because it’s sweet and refreshing.”
Editor-in-chief, Emilee Guernsey – Sweet Potato Pie
“It’s a different twist on pumpkin pie, it tastes similar but it’s not as sweet so it doesn’t overload your mouth.”
Adviser, Paige Hert – The ice cream on top of the pie
“I just…really like ice cream. Because my birthday cake is always a gallon of mint chocolate chip with a candle stuck in it. I don’t like cake or pie, just ice cream.”

All students and staff are safe. “All of my friends left their stuff too, so we couldn’t contact our parents, and it was stressful,” senior Brynn Fowler said. “It was scary because I didn’t know [what was going on], and I couldn’t find anyone because it was a big crowd.” Photo by Anthony Garcia](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/firetruck-300x200.jpg)
