The Final Note

Spell “S-U-C-C-E-S-S”
![As senior Zane Claybrook catches the ball, the fans see the results of hours of practice and work. On and off the field, Claybrook has received help and motivation from people, along with all the work he put in. “Coach Hudson's always pushing me to be a better person, so that's helped [me become] better in football and better at life,” Claybrook said. “[My parents] made sure I got up when I needed to get up [and that] I wasn't late for anything. They’ve always pushed me to be the best person I could be.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/zanec.jpg)
Claybrook’s College Playbook
![Smiling for the camera, seniors Jen and Rose Nguyen pose together for a photo while on vacation in San Diego. Jen and Rose have served as officers for multiple honor societies, started self-led initiatives and tutored other students for years. “I wasn’t always this involved,” Rose said. “People who used to know me in elementary school or even middle school would probably describe me as ‘the quiet girl’. Now that I’m in high school, I became involved in all of these clubs and took that leap. Talking to different people from all different backgrounds [has caused me to] grow so much.”

Twins For The Win

Ad-hit to the List
![Finishing her night out after attending a local concert, senior Grace Sauers smiles at the camera. She recently started a business, PrettySick, that takes photos as well as sells merch at local concert venues. Next year, she will attend Columbia Chicago College majoring in Graphic Design. “There's such a good communal scene because there [are] great venues in Austin,” Sauers said. “I'm gonna miss it in Austin, but I do know Chicago is good, it's not like I'm going to the middle of nowhere. I just have to find my footing again.” Photo Courtesy of Grace Sauers.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Grace.png)
Moments Between The Music

Student Voice, Big Impact
![Lining in front of the Cedar Lake Courthouse where people of all ages enter to receive the final decisions of the crime they committed enters teenagers meant to be the last voice heard before their peers are convicted. Teen Court has meetings on Mondays, twice a month. “I originally did [Teen Court] for the service hours that it offered but stayed because of the connections,” Edwards said. ”The skills I’ve learned in public speaking and argumentation have helped me so much.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Teen-Court-1200x900.jpg)

Cooking Up the Competition
![Holding up their ribbons, the Principles of Dance team poses for a picture. On March 12, the team participated in the Dance Educators Assessment of Learning (DEAL), where they earned a Division One rating. “For me, [a division one rating] shows the teamwork of our class and how we work together to dance,” freshman Sierra Thurber said. “[Participating in DEAL] benefits me because it teaches me a lot of skills and gives me a sense of determination in any type of category that I would go for in life.” Photo courtesy of Nikki Evans](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Dancers.jpg)
