“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Celebs showcase annual Holiday Show
December 11, 2015
The second year of the Holiday Show, hosted by the Celebrities, took place on Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. This years show consisted of dances not only from the Celebrities, but from different school clubs and even some of the faculty.
Some of the teachers volunteered for the faculty dance, including biology teacher Adam Babich.
“I love Cedar Park and I think it is a good thing for teachers to be a part of extracurricular events around the school,” Babich said. “It means a lot to the students when they see their teachers show up to one of their events.”
Celebrity, junior Sara Baldazo liked how a lot of people in the school could be in the show if they wished.
“My favorite part of the show was the fact that the whole school could get involved,” Baldazo said. “It brought everyone together for the holidays.”
Many clubs were a part of the show, such as Spanish Club and Spanish Honor Society. Senior and Spanish Club member, Claire Cantrell, participated in the routine Spanish Club made, but especially liked the faculty dance.
“The faculty dance was really funny and the teachers worked really hard to rehearse for it,” Cantrell said. “I also loved the idea of representing Spanish club with Christmas spirit.”
While Cantrell believes the teachers rehearsed quite a bit for their performance, Babich explained that he wished he had practiced more.
“Everyone had a great time, and it is great to be silly, but I know Lippie and I wished we had practiced more,” Babich said. “But hey, it was a great time and all the faculty involved absolutely loved the experience.”
The Celebrities had the chance to meet with a professional choreographer to learn some of the dances they performed, according to Baldazo.
“[After meeting with the choreographer,] we cleaned the dances up and practiced them until they were performance ready,” Baldazo said. “Personally, I just tried not to psych myself out. Performances are nerve racking, but I have faith in my team and we always pull through.”
Looking at next year’s Holiday Show, Baldazo hopes more people get involved.
“I don’t really wish anything was different,” Baldazo said. “But I hope that in the future the show grows to involve more of the student body, faculty and gets the community together.”

The event has been held for the past two years and is designed to raise money for the baseball program in a fun way. “We’re a baseball team, so people love to compete,” Cuevas said. “So we figured we better do something that gets [their] attention. They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
