Cedar Park High School (CPHS) was established in 1998 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 it is proud of its high achievement in academic and extracurricular activities^[1]^[2].

The school's mascot is the Timberwolf, and the colors of CPHS are forest green and black with silver as an accent. Cedar Park High School competes in UIL district 14-5A, and its main sports rival is nearby Leander High School. At the end of the football season, these two match at Bible Stadium in a game known as The Crosstown Showdown. The other teams in 14-5A include Westwood High School, Plugerville High School, Round Rock High School, Stony Point High School, and McNeil High School. The other high school in the school district, Vista Ridge, is moving up to 5A at the start of the 2008-2009 school year, replacing Georgetown High School.
