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)

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)

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].”

The cheering from the stands engulfs freshman Jacob Gaudreau as he performs for the crowd, showing off his title of the first male cheerleader at Cedar Park in 25 years. Thus, Guadreau follows the path much like others before him, but with distinction amongst his fellow peers.
Prior to becoming a cheerleader, Gaudreau had been doing gymnastics since he was in second grade. Already knowing the necessary tumbling skills to be successful, in eighth grade, Gaudreau quit gymnastics and has been involved in cheerleading since.
“I just wanted to try it out and see how and if it was any different,” Gaudreau said. “It would be different, but I think I just wanted to try something new.”
Originally cheering at Cedar Park Middle School before joining the All Star team at Tumbletech in eighth grade, Gaudreau already had the required experience to make him a member of the JV team in high school.
“I was very excited [to make the JV team],” Gaudreau said. “[Cheering] has definitely given me a much more outgoing personality, because I used to be very introverted, so it’s definitely made me more extroverted towards people.”
Although he has only been cheering for a little over a year, Gaudreau has gained experience faster being on both a competitive cheer team and a high school team. He is involved in both environments on a regular basis.
“The high school cheer program is a lot more cheering on a team,” Gaudreau said. “You’re being uplifted [on the sidelines]. All Star cheer is more showing off skills that you can do with a team and putting it with music and a routine.”
Gaudreau is a good representation of a minority in a female-dominated sport, believing if someone wants to try something, boy or girl, they simply must try; be a part of the small community that prevailed through difficulty.
“Just go for it,” Gaudreau said. “I know it could seem scary at first, [but] seeing how you like it is always like the first step. Just put yourself out there and go forward with it.”
Guadreau practices his coordination and tumbling skills daily. Though it’s different for some to see Gaudreau in cheer uniform, his team keeps him going, according to Gaudreau.
“I feel kind of secluded, being so individualized,” Gaudreau said. “People will always have their comments. Everyone [in the cheer program] is always building each other up.”
