![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)

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].”

It doesn’t matter where you go; whether it’s a job interview, a college application, or a first date, everybody likes to hear that you’re giving back. Here at Cedar Park High School, we like to go above and beyond with our community service. We offer many clubs like PALs, JROTC, KEY Club, Student Council and NHS that participate frequently in service projects.
Senior Aleksej Demjanski, an officer for NHS and Spanish Honor Society, said that Spanish Honor Society will be participating in the Austin Food Drive on Dec. 8 to gather canned foods for the less fortunate families in our local area.
“We do things that are exciting,” Demjanski said. “We’re going to go out and do things for the community, just giving back.”
In the spring, Spanish Honor Society plans to start a friendly competition amongst the clubs to raise school supplies for children in Peru. Supplies will be collected in class and shipped to Peru.
Spanish Honor Society isn’t the only club reaching out to other nations. KEY Club, a well-known club at Cedar Park, is participating in “Project Eliminate” to donate funds to give mothers and children around the world medical supplies to fight against tetanus. KEY Club also hopes to raise around $1500 to sponsor schools in India.
“I enjoy knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life that wasn’t mine,” senior Victoria Uribe, Lt. Governor of KEY Club, said.
Another group here at CPHS is the PALs, which is an elective course open to juniors and seniors that focuses on serving our community on a daily basis. PALs visit the local Alzheimer’s home, retirement home and elementary and middle schools every week. The clubs of Cedar Park joined together recently at Trunk-or-Treat, an annual event held in the CPHS parking lot.
“It gives kids a safe environment to have fun and get some candy,” junior Ethan Goldberg said.
To learn more about clubs giving back at Cedar Park, check out a club meeting. Spanish Honor Society meets Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. in room AW108 and 8:00 a.m on Wednesdays. KEY Club meets every Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. in S111.
