![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].”

On October 25, CPHS hosted a pep rally for the game against Vandegrift sponsored by KISSFM featuring Tegan and Sara.
According to senior and varsity cheer captain, Tiffany Wong, every school in the Austin area is automatically entered into the contest.
“I found out about the contest while listening to the radio in my car,” Wong said. “We were actually the underdogs in the contest because the student body began voting two weeks into the contest.”
In order to get the word out, Wong worked closely with junior Monica Harkins who works as a producer for the Wolfcast.
“When Tiffany contacted me about the contest I researched all the rules and regulations so we could inform the student body as well as the community about the contest,” Harkins said.
Principal Barbara Spelman and administrative assistant Linda Paris helped a lot as well as they worked with Harkins and Wong to get the news out there and get it cleared by the district.
“We were able to get the contest out as well as opening up the website to allow students to vote cleared through the district,” Harkins said. “This made it easier for the student body to vote at school.”
It wasn’t just an effort between cheer and broadcasting; with the help of Ms. King and Mrs. Hexter they were able to make this a community wide effort to win the contest. According to Harkins, many students got their family members involved as well so it was an all around effort to make this possible.
The official winner of the contest was announced by KISSFM on Oct. 21.
“When I heard that we won I was ecstatic, I was at a redlight and started jumping up and down in my seat,” Harkins said. “I loved knowing that all my friends and community came together as a family to win the contest.”
The pep rally was held on Oct. 25, in the gym at 1:00 between A and B lunch.
