Summer is here and keeping students busy
June 6, 2014
There are many activities to participate in over the summer. Many CPHS students are traveling, going to camp, or just hanging out with friends.
Junior Quynh Nguyen will be traveling out of the country this summer for her Spanish class.
“This summer I’ll be spending two weeks in Lima and Cusco, Peru,” Nguyen said. “During the stay I will be immersed directly into Peruvian culture and because of this, we will be speaking in Spanish our entire stay there.”
The group traveling there will also be visiting historical places such as Machu Pichu.
“We’ll be taking advantage of the opportunity to improve our Spanish speaking and listening skills,” Nguyen said. “Something we don’t get to practice much during the school year.”
Freshman Tina Smart will be one of the students traveling to another state.
“I’m going to California this summer,” Smart said. “I used to love there so I’m really excited to see my old friends and go back to the beach.”
Junior Alex Medina is excited about her summer, too.
“I’m going to the vans warped tour for the fifth time in San Antonio,” Medina said. “The lineup is pretty great. I’m also going to Float Fest in August and I’m going on a beach trip to Port A with my friends.”
Sophomore Katy Stevenson will be traveling to her summer camp.
“I’ll be attending to my diabetic camp, Camp Sweeney, for three weeks this summer,” Stevenson said. “I’m also going to hang out with lots of my friends at camp and also while I’m at home.”
Sophomore Tiffany Klopper, like Nguyen, is traveling out of country.
“I’m going to Costa Rica over the summer,” Klopper said. “We’re going to be there for three weeks. I’m really excited for it.”
Junior Haley Speich will be staying at the A&M campus for a week.
“I’m going to take college classes on animation.” Speich said. “I’m super excited because this is my second year going and I get to see my friends that I met last year.”
So, while some are traveling, practicing a sport, or just chilling at home watching Netflix, CPHS students are to make the most of these next three months.

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].”
