Homecoming kicks off early

Homecoming King and Queen will be announced at halftime od the Cedar Park vs. Westwood football game on Sept. 12.
September 10, 2014
Homecoming: the day of dancing, mums and football. It’s also when we crown homecoming King and Queen. This year, however, the date was moved up and the theme is completely different than years before.
Assistant to the principal, Linda Paris, explained why Homecoming is earlier, along with Assistant principal, Tereasa Back.
“There is only four home games this year and the game has to be at Gupton,” Paris said.
According to Back, the original goal was to have it late September or early October, but since the band has a competition in late September and working with only a handful of home games, this weekend was the best choice for everyone to be able to attend.
The homecoming dance will be held Sept. 13 from 8 p.m. – 11 p.m. in the cafeteria. Student council hosts the event and decided to change the theme this year because they found that attendance had been lacking. To encourage attendance, the theme was changed to Black Light to make it more enjoyable for the student body, according to the Anatomy and Biology teacher and new student council sponsor, Adam Babich.
“We will have black lights, decorations, laser lights and a DJ,” Babich said.
The dress for the dance is semi-formal.
There will be spirit days this week as well. Monday is Tie Dye day, Tuesday is Tropical Day, Wednesday is Animal Day, Thursday is 80’s Dance Party and Friday is CP spirit day. There will also be a Black Light pep rally Friday from 3:20 p.m.-3:50 p.m.

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)

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].”
