In the final pose, senior captain Mia Caldwell ends the Veteran’s Day dance in the air. On Veteran’s Day, the Celebrities performed a number to honor the veterans. “It was definitely hard to fit that dance into a really busy schedule,” Caldwell said. “It was really fun to pull it together and put in the hard work to honor [the veterans] and show our appreciation.” Photo by Alyssa Fox

Dancing in white, the cheer team glows in the dark at the black light pep rally. To prepare, they tape down their tumbling maps so that they glow and are able to see them without light. “For me, performing in the black light pep rallies are different because we try to do a more exciting and eye catching routine than we usually do,” junior cheerleader Sophia Struve said. “Some things I enjoy about pep rallies as a whole is seeing all of the programs perform like the Celebrities and watching the student and staff games. I always have a good time and enjoy watching.” Photo by Allie Tseng

Holding the tray, freshman Anthony Hernandez offers water to varsity football players during the game against Georgetown. Hernandez said he joined the class because he thought it would be fun for his freshman year. “I would never think my first high school level football game would be on the field next to the players,” Hernandez said. “I just love the games in general.” Photo by Alyssa Fox

Looking ahead, freshman Tucker Johnson runs in the Cross Country meet on Aug. 23. As a freshman, Johnson said his time improved each meet by one or two minutes. “[High school cross country] is a lot harder and it pushes me more,” Johnson said. “Having older kids around me helps to improve my time because I want to be as fast as them.” Photo by Chloe Grantham

Holding the flag, sophomore Henley Mickan performs a colorguard routine.

Arms up in the air, the varsity volleyball team celebrates with their state semifinals trophy. The team won against Georgetown, 3-1, to advance to the state title game. “[Winning the state semifinals game] felt really good,” freshman Blake Gilkey said. “[Celebrating with my teammates] was special and fun. We’re all best friends. I’m so grateful for this team.” Photo by Alyssa Fox

Taking a breath, junior Eliana Costello swims in a competition. The swim team practices every morning at 7:30 a.m., and Costello said she believes it has contributed to their successful season. “[Stretching] is a good time for us to bond together as a group,” Costello said. “Then we hop in the pool and have a pretty productive practice from there. We do a lot that prepares us for the meet.” Photo by Kassidy Wilkinson

Head tilted to the side, senior Charlotte Adair pulls fake guts out of a corpse. Theater raised $9,000 through their annual haunted house on Oct. 25. “We really only had one week of rehearsals, but me and some other senior designers have been thinking about [the haunted house] since the end of last year,” Adair said. “It was stressful because a lot of people do the haunted house but not our other shows, and we have a lot more cast and crew members than we usually have. Getting all the information out to everyone and making sure everyone was where we needed them to be was probably the hardest part for me, because it was a lot of people for one very short week.” Photo by Violet Harmon

Signing up students to vote, senior Katherine Spinneweber works the voter’s registration booth. On Sept. 17, Rho Kappa had the opportunity to help register students who were over 18 to vote. “I think being able to vote is super important,” Spinneweber said. “It’s kind of our duty as Americans [to vote] and one of the easiest ways we can execute our power.” Photo by Jane Yermakov

Swinging his racket, senior Michael Anthony hits the tennis ball over the net. Varsity tennis beat Liberty Hill on Oct. 1. to become district champs. “I was excited for Liberty Hill [vs.] Cedar Park,” Anthony said. “We have a lot of history between each other [in tennis]. Tennis is a sport where you are by yourself, so it is very easy to get under your own skin and get upset and frustrated.” Photo by Kassidy Wilkinson

Participating in the sculpture project, junior Sophie Levano is seen getting her arm wrapped. The finished results of their projects were put up in the library. “This project was a new experience because I hadn't thought about art from that perspective,” Levano said. “After seeing it up in the library, I realized that I helped in creating something that everyone is going to see, and that made me want to make more things that people can see and interpret in any way they want.” Photo by Mykaela Tapia
