![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].”

The Wolfast’s transition from standard definition to high definition technology is currently underway. The broadcast team is currently updating their equipment with three studio cameras, eight portable cameras, a tricaster and cables in their effort to update the school’s technology.
The new equipment is being installed as a part of the initiative to transition to HD video for the entire school. Although the classroom TVs are not in HD, the new cameras will improve the resolution and the content by updating visuals for students and reducing editing time for producers.
“The Wolfcast strives to give students the best possible product,” senior David Looney said.
Although the show won’t change, the behind-the-scenes effort will be revolutionized.
“New technology brings more possibilities, especially for sports,” Looney said. “Before, we had to watch the entire tape and click out highlights, leaving enormous backlogs.”
Sophomore Brianna Rey, a first-year Wolfcast member, works the tricaster for the station. With her position, Rey watches hours of footage to find the right excerpts to save.
“I’m most looking forward to using the new memory cards instead of tapes,” Rey said. “The worst part about using tapes was re-watching the entire game and ending up with corrupt footage.”
The new technology eliminates this process of filming, rewinding, re-watching and editing. The Wolfcast producers recently learned the ropes of HD filmography when a professional from a local news station made a visit prior to Shattered Dreams.
“We used Shattered Dreams as our testing ground,” Looney said. “This was our first experience delivering new things we might not have been able to provide before.”
Starting with Shattered Dreams, the Wolfpack began to incorporate their new technology. However, the switch is not immediate.
“We’re taking this conversion in steps,” Wolfcast advisor Jim Tarvin said. “Having a new full capacity and open interface would provide the whole school with new opportunities.”
These opportunities are the beginning of a new era for both watchers and producers of the Wolfcast.
“This is our new dawn,” Looney said.
