![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)

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)

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].”

From the Student Council, to the Investment Club, to the Science Honor Society, senior Adhit Eswaramoorthi has achieved many accomplishments since his freshman year.
During his high school career, Eswaramoorthi has been involved in many student clubs and organizations. This list includes Student Council, FIRST Technical Challenge (FTC) Robotics, Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Investment Club, Asian Heritage Club, National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society. Eswaramoorthi has also taken part in outside school extracurricular activities, including SAT tutoring, volunteering as an attorney at the Cedar Park Teen Court Program and participating in investment competitions.
“In my freshman year, I actually wasn’t part of a single club,” Eswaramoorthi said. “I felt pretty isolated and lonely, and didn’t really feel much motivation and happiness at school. It wasn’t until my sophomore year where my friend basically forced me to join robotics. I found such a great community there, and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve been a part of so many great organizations since then, and each of them have helped me grow academically and as a person.”
Eswaramoorthi is currently serving as the senior class vice president, Asian Heritage Club co-president and Investment Club president. As Vice President, Eswaramoorthi is responsible for planning events for the senior class. Some of these events include senior sunrise, senior sunset, senior skip day and the senior prank. Eswaramoorthi also assists with the creation and running of Senior Assassin.
“I knew this would be a demanding position,” Eswaramoorthi said. “But I was confident that my previous leadership experience would help me with my tasks. To be able to bring the senior class together and run events that will create lifetime memories is really an amazing thing I have the privilege to be a part of.”
During high school, Eswaramoorthi has had many achievements. In robotics, his team won the UIL 5A FTC state championship. His team also started Project TechSpark Nigeria, where they teach coding basics to underprivileged communities in Nigeria. In the Harvard investment competition, his team worked with members from England, South Africa and the United States, placing first out of over 50 international teams. Last year in DECA, his team qualified for internationals, and this year he placed as a runner-up, which is the state finalist award.
“My greatest accomplishment is qualifying for DECA internationals,” Eswaramoorthi said. “It was my first year ever competing in DECA, and being the only team from Austin to qualify, out of hundreds of other competitors, was definitely the most rewarding experience of my high school career.”
In DECA last year, Eswaramoorthi competed in the Franchise Business Plan. This is a team event that includes a 20-page written paper and a presentation. This year, he competed in Quick Serve Restaurant Management where he roleplayed as a restaurant manager, and tackled challenges that restaurants face with limited preparation time.
“I joined [DECA] at first because of the fun trips that were advertised if I advanced to the State level,” Eswaramoorthi said. “However, once I joined, I realized the competition was such a fun aspect of my life, and I really put a lot of time and effort into my events.”
As a part of the debate team, Eswaramoorthi has competed in the Persuasive Extemporaneous Speaking event as well as the UIL Congress Meet. Last year, he placed first and second at two invitational events. This year, he placed 11th at the District UIL 5A Congress Meet Finals. Eswaramoorthi said he joined the debate team to improve his public speaking skills and become a part of a community that would push him to grow as a debater and as a speaker.
“I actually really enjoy public speaking now,” Eswaramoorthi said. “So being able to turn something that people usually view as negative into something positive is really helpful. I have also noticed the skills needed in extemporaneous speaking, such as quick thinking, have translated over into DECA, and other business projects and presentations I hope to do in the future.”
Eswaramoorthi will be attending the University of Texas at Austin. He plans to major in Finance at the McCombs School of Business and minor in Data Science.
“My high school experience has really shaped what I want to do in the future, which is either investment banking or consulting,” Eswaramoorthi said. “I’ve discovered my passion for numbers, fast-paced environments, presenting ideas, and the general field of finance.”
