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)

Grandow finished fourth in the event and led the varsity girls to regionals with a third place placement as a team. “I’m very excited [to go to regionals],” Grandow said. “I’m excited to race in Corpus Christi, and we get to go to the beach, so that’s really awesome.” Photo by Addison Bruce](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/brianna.jpg)
Meet and Greet: English, Electives, and Front Office
September 21, 2015
This year CPHS received 3 new additions to staff: Donna Holman, English, Ian Edgeley, Elective, and Babette Riedmueller, receptionist. Here are some interesting facts to get to know the new staff.
Donna Holman
New to Cedar Park but not to teaching, Holman is entering her 24th year of teaching and coaching. Holman is teaching English 4 and coaching Basketball and Track this year for Cedar Park.
Q: Why do you like what you teach?
A: I love teaching and coaching because I want to show kids that living the good life and staying on the right path leads to a fruitful life.
Q: What extracurricular activities were you involved in during High School?
A: Basketball, track, and softball.
Q: If you had the ability to do anything what would you do?
A: I’d want the ability to stop drug use and child abuse.

Ian Edgeley (pronounced Edge-lee.)

Q: What college did you go to?
A: Southampton University in the UK and Texas State University here in the US.
Q: What’s your favorite kind of student?
A: So many students come to my classes saying things like “I’m really not good with computers, I don’t know why I took this.” I love those students in particular because by the end of the year, they’re making programs and websites and games like it’s no big thing, and they don’t even remember how little confidence they had just a few months earlier.
Q: If you could have any superpower what would it be?
A: Time travel would be great. Go back and punch Hitler, etc.
Q: What would be your spirit animal?
A: A house cat. Sleeping for 23 hours a day? Count me in.
