![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. 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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.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)

The Rain is coming to Cedar Park
The cast of Singing in the Rain warms up before practicing their tap dancing skills. Sophomore Alexa Clinton shared that the tap dancing for this year is much different from last year. “I re-taught everyone the tap, which is now changed,” Clinton said. “This is what’s going to take out a lot of our energy.”

Singing in the Rain is a Broadway classic and Cedar Park High School’s theater group will be performing this musical in January 2015.
Many students are involved in the performance of this musical. Sophomore Alexa Clinton is very excited and is pleased with how many roles are available.
“The show has lots of tiny rolls for everyone,” Clinton said. “It’s a lot better compared to last year, which only had two main roles.”
There is much enthusiasm from all the theater students. Sophomore Nicki Dipietro has noticed all the excitement floating around the cast.
“Everyone’s hyped, no matter how nervous we are,” Dipietro said. “We all get really close so it’s even better knowing you’re going on stage with your family right by your side.”
The production will be starting in January, and the cast will be practicing for the next three months.
Theater teacher Jerry Blake is hoping many people show up to watch the performance. She is very proud of all the students in the performance and knows that they will do well.
“I’m hoping for a full house,” Blake said. “The musical is very popular. We are the first Leander ISD school to do this production.”
