Cedar Park
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
CPHS, Cedar Park High School was established in 1999 to serve as the second high school in the Leander Independent School District of Williamson County, Texas. The school was built due to the rapid growth in the area, and has since become known for its high achievement in academic and extracurricular activities. The principal of the high school is Ron LaFevers. Before being principal, he served as principal of Cedar Park Middle School, a feeder school to Cedar Park High School.
