![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].”

Even though the football season has ended, the Cedar Park Celebrities still have a lot of events coming up. The Spring Show, competitions, and lots of practices are on their calendars.
The Celebrities will be performing at all major girls’ and boys’ basketball games, as well as the pep rally along with their other endeavors.
Also coming up for the girls is their performance and the Winter Guard Contest on Saturday, Feb. 2, here at CPHS. Their dance competitions start in February as well, and they will be performing at competitions in San Antonio on the 15 and 16 of February and at Vandergrift High School on Feb. 23. These contests have participants from schools all over the district and even some from across the state.
“I think the girls will do really well at both competitions,” dance teacher Stacy Danielson said. “I’m confident that we will get Division 1, which means we win.”
The celebrities will be performing multiple dances, including the team novelty kick, which will include a modern dance and the kick style combination. Some of the other dances that the celebrities will be performing are their company routine, with hip hop, jazz, and contemporary dances, as well as the officer dance, which will have a jazz, contemporary theme, and will also include a novelty dance.
“The competitions are really rigorous,” social officer Leah Herrington said. “But I think that we will do really well. We just need to believe in ourselves, and not get discouraged by other teams.”
The dancers also have their annual Spring Show which will be held on April 11-13 in the PAC, and feature the Celebrities, Emeralds, the dance classes and the Cedar Park Middle School Crimson Cadets.
