![Lining the center of the room, several printing presses make copies of Community Impact’s latest newspaper. Junior Skyler King shadowed at Community Impact for her Career Investigation Day where she got a tour of the printing press and spoke with several employees including one of the head editors and a designer. “I really think [my favorite part] was talking to the designer,” King said. “Before I thought I really wanted to focus on just pure writing with journalism, but I thought what she did was maybe even cooler and it really made me rethink what I want to do, like if I want to do social media design, or graphic design or something like that.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/CI-edit.jpg)
![As senior Zane Claybrook catches the ball, the fans see the results of hours of practice and work. On and off the field, Claybrook has received help and motivation from people, along with all the work he put in. “Coach Hudson's always pushing me to be a better person, so that's helped [me become] better in football and better at life,” Claybrook said. “[My parents] made sure I got up when I needed to get up [and that] I wasn't late for anything. They’ve always pushed me to be the best person I could be.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/zanec.jpg)
![Smiling for the camera, seniors Jen and Rose Nguyen pose together for a photo while on vacation in San Diego. Jen and Rose have served as officers for multiple honor societies, started self-led initiatives and tutored other students for years. “I wasn’t always this involved,” Rose said. “People who used to know me in elementary school or even middle school would probably describe me as ‘the quiet girl’. Now that I’m in high school, I became involved in all of these clubs and took that leap. Talking to different people from all different backgrounds [has caused me to] grow so much.”

![Bringing her arm over her head and taking a quick breath, junior Lauren Lucas swims the final laps of the 500 freestyle at the regionals swimming competition on date. Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

"We [all] seem to be a team, I get up every day and there's days where I don't want to go to work today, but I'm thankful that I have a job and I'm blessed to have what I have," Christopherson said.

![Officer Stephanie Cash is in her second year as an SRO at CPHS. “Seeing [students] grow over the years has been kind of cool,” Officer Cash said. “Freshmen that [are] all over the place and then in the next couple of years get a little more squared away and go to class and do work and start thinking about the future. Being a part of a student's growth is the best way to measure my success as an SRO.” Photo Courtesy of Cedar Park Police Department's PIO, Alicia Gallagher.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/CPHS-SRO-900x1200.jpg)

Padilla placed 10th overall and second in the consolation final in the event, dropping two seconds. “My family was there, so being able to drop time for them was really special,” Padilla said. “It was awesome [finding out I advanced to the consolation finals]. I wasn’t expecting it, and I was very surprised. My parents being there definitely made me a lot happier knowing they got to see me swim in finals.” Photo by Skyler King.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/kaden-padilla.jpg)
