![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

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)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)
![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

With spring break quickly approaching and summer in sight, the spring semester at Cedar Park High School is well under way. Temperatures are rising and students are itching for a long break from school. However, the spring season is well overlooked. Cedar Park and the surrounding area offer plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the season.
Every spring break, millions flock to Austin for the annual SXSW week of music, film and interactive festival. Although the cost of wristbands could possibly break your piggy bank, free shows appear spontaneously. You never know which celebrity crush or favorite band you could run into while strolling the streets downtown next week.
For those who favor the country music scene, the rodeo comes to Austin for spring break every year. From March 9 through 23, headliners include Josh Abbott Band, Eli Young Band and Josh Turner. The rodeo is a great place to get your fill of country music, cowboys, fried food, carnival games and rides.
This Monday kicked off the warm weather with the annual Zilker Kite Festival at Zilker Park in Austin. The windy day was one of kites, dogs, people and sun. Although the event comes only once a year, Zilker has year-round offerings. Popular pastimes include taking a refreshing dip in Barton Springs, riding round-trip on the Zilker Zepher and bringing your pooch to the friendly neighborhood dog park. The Zilker Garden Festival 2013 will be held April 6-7 at the botanical gardens.
If you’ve already wasted a tank of gas on the drive downtown, taking a detour to stop by the 360 overlook isn’t far out of the way. Bring a blanket and food for a fun scenic date and photo shoot. You’re guaranteed to get some likes on Instagram with this view. If you’d rather skip the popular spot in favor of a more natural area, head over to Mount Bonnell Park for a view of the bridge and Lake Austin. Enfield Park, which is home to a family of wild peacocks, is right next door.
The drive downtown can be long and time-consuming, so if you’d rather stay close to home, Cedar Park offers the same amount of fun for less gas money. Ifly, just a short drive down 183, offers indoor skydiving. Main Event is nearby and offers some discounted bowling nights in the spring.
Supporting your fellow Timberwolves is also a fun way to spend weekday and weekend nights. Baseball, lacrosse, soccer and track all have weekly games in the spring. Theater will ramp up again soon with their One-Act Play on March 26. Although the annual Powderpuff game will no longer be school-sponsered, you can still support the junior and senior girls while watching some entertaining hair-pulling on a date to be determined.
