Farewell, Journalism Seniors
May 27, 2021
These students spent their high school time celebrating and telling the stories of everyone else. Now, it’s their turn. Congratulations to the seniors in the Yearbook, Newspaper and Broadcast programs for their hard work and dedication to telling the stories of Cedar Park High School.
Broadcast – The Wolfcast
Ella Neel (Three Years)

“My name is Ella Neel and I have been the anchor of the Wolfcast for three years. There’s a lot that goes into making a Wolfcast, but my job was to write the script for the shows and then be on air for them. After high school I will be continuing my journalism education at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. My favorite broadcast memory was last year when all the leadership staff would get together once a month and go to dinner and go bowling, I loved that bonding time we had before Covid 19.” Photo by Victor Martinez
Giselle Muniz (Two Years)

“I have been a part of broadcast for the past two years, my first one as a reporter and this year as Associate Producer. 🙂 My favorite part of this program has been that I have learned how to work with a team and work for the good of a program and not just for my own good. I have learned how to be confident with the things I do and the decisions I make.” Photo by German Muniz

Newspaper – The Wolfpack
Estefani Rios- (Three Years on the Wolfpack and Three Years on the Tracks Yearbook Staff)

“I have been on the Wolfpack newspaper and Tracks yearbook staffs for three years. I served as editor-in-chief of the Wolfpack for two years. In addition to my duties of completing pages for the yearbook and writing, editing and publishing stories for the Wolfpack, I have also managed the CPHSNews social media for the past two years. After high school, I plan to major in Social Work and focus on working in the foster care system. There was never a day on either staff that I didn’t enjoy. I got to do what I love, which is to write, and also bond with everyone. While the environment of the newspaper staff is more close-knit, the yearbook staff is the best jumble of personalities that you can’t find anywhere else. It’s so weird thinking that I won’t see them every day next year, but I know that the relationships I created with some of the people on staff are going to last for years.” Photo by Mari Rios
Kaiya Wilkinson (One Year)
“I have been on the Newspaper staff for one year and I was a reporter and wrote articles. My plan after high school is to go to BYU-Idaho, still not sure what my major will be but I’m going to wing it when I get there. A few more things about me are I swim, I play water polo, I also play piano and the most surprising fact is I have five younger siblings who are quintuplets. My favorite part of being in Newspaper was hanging out with Ms. Hert and Ally during the Newspaper class. It was super fun to go on random adventures and stuff. I also liked to write opinion articles.” Photo by Rachelle Wilkinson
Morgan Kasel (Three Years)
Tracks Yearbook
Abby Cheek (Three Years)
“I have been on staff since sophomore year. I became a content editor my junior year and have remained there into senior year. My duties ranged from editing spreads and stories to trying to keep my team in line and get all of our stuff done. I loved my fellow staff members and became close with a lot of them and the yearbook teacher, Mrs. Hert. I will miss the class and everyone a part of it. My leaders became my friends and the class became my life, wouldn’t change it for the world. My plans for the future are to go to Tarleton state and major in biology/kinesiology to become an occupational therapist. I will live on campus and can’t wait to meet my roommate and decorate and get settled in!” Photo by Morgan Wood
Grace Cox (Three Years)
“My name is Grace Cox and I have been a part of the journalism program for four years (1 in journalism and 3 in yearbook). While being in yearbook, I have been content editor and senior ads editor. While being a content editor, I was in charge of editing papers and helping my team with their work. While being a senior ad editor, I was in charge of contacting parents and creating their student’s senior ad. While in high school I was involved in over 18 clubs and kept myself busy inside and outside of the school. I held a job at Randall’s along with being a nanny on the side. After high school I will be attending Texas State. I am going to major in Psychology and Business to help me with my career in real estate. I am working on getting my real estate license so while I am in college I can lease and sell houses and apartments. I also will be working at an apartment complex as a Community Assistant where I will plan events and give tours to new residents. One of my favorite memories of the yearbook program was when class began we would always meet and talk about our life’s and what was going on in them. This was amazing because we got to build relationships with each other. Another one of my favorite memories was all of the extra time we spent in Lab 7 it was in those moments where although we were stressed with deadlines we were able to always have a good laugh. ” Photo by Faith Cox
Bridget Grant-McGirr (Two Years)
“Hi I’m Bridget! I’ve been on the yearbook staff for two years now and did one year of photojournalism before joining. After high school I pan on attending the University of North Texas and majoring in Criminal Justice. I hope one day to be a criminal profiler/criminologist! My favorite memory from being in yearbook was our Halloween party we had this year. We all got dressed up and tried to guess each others costumes over Zoom with our cameras off.” Photo by Kathy Cuff

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)










![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)




![Holding up the bi-district champions trophy, junior shortstop Hudson Cuevas cheers alongside his team. 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].”
