Narrative:

I was taxiing back (and running late) to the flight school when the katana right wing light package, ie, strobe position light and navigation light, struck piper warrior propeller cone. No damage to the piper. Katana right wing light package was damaged and position light cover broke. (Light package and position light cover repaired by an a&P 2 hours later.)
