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.
Q: What is your must-have item when teaching?
A: Colorful dry erase markers.
Ian Edgeley (pronounced Edge-lee.)
Mr. Edgeley is the new Pre-AP Computer Science I, Video Game Design and Robotics teacher and is only here on A days while spending his B days at Vista Ridge.
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.
Babette Riedmueller (it’s German but has been Americanized so we pronounce it “reed-miller”)
Mrs. Riedmueller is our new front office receptionist with a business degree from Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN.
Q:What is your standard Starbucks order?
A:Mocha Frappuchino (only on special occasions).
Q:What is your favorite movie of all time?
A: Any romantic comedy.
Q:Android or IPhone?
A: IPhone.

![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)










![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].”
