Fall means football, and football means Friday spirit days. Each varsity football game day, students have the opportunity to dress up according to themes. Some students deck out from head to toe, while others take the lower key route. Either way, spirit days give students the opportunity to show school pride while dressing out of the norm.
“I like spirit days because they are the one day out of the week where you can dress crazy and not have to worry about impressing anyone,” senior Sabella Greenwell said. “I always dress up because I love wearing clothes I wouldn’t normally wear on a daily basis.”
This year, Decades Day brought back everything from bell-bottoms to deadstock glasses. One group of senior girls wore togas, a flashback all the way to the Grecian Era.
“We wanted to do something different from the typical 80s,” senior Kat Hill said. “Seniors wore togas last year, and Lindsay Stawowy came up with the idea to use sheets to wrap ourselves.”
The toga girls include Greenwell, Hill, Stawowy, Bailey Young, Sabrina Dagher, and Tahlea Holst. Although some students aren’t as enthusiastic about dressing up, Young doesn’t let them stop her from showing school spirit.
“I love spirit days,” Young said. “I wish more people dressed up, but I look forward to Fridays to dress up. Neon Day and Frat Day are my favorites. I wish we did Career Day also.”
The cheerleaders choose the spirit days ahead of time based on popular trends.
“We all get together during the summer and collaborate ideas,” senior cheerleader Carli Morgan said. “Themes usually change from year to year, but popular ones like Neon Day and Black Out stay because a lot of people dress up for them.”
Texas Pride Day, Decades Day, and Beach Day have already passed, but students still have the opportunity to show school spirit and have fun on Camo Day, Black Out, Frat Day, Pink Out, Superhero Day, and Neon Day. And of course there’s Homecoming on Oct. 4, the ultimate day to show school pride by decking out and dressing out in Timberwolf green and black.

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].”
