What's Your Style?

“I usually look at others and try to decide what would look best on me. I went to Austin and saw the diversity in every ones style, then made it my own.”

“I personally just want to be an individual. I have no idea where I get my style, I guess it’s just what I have picked up over time.”

“I pull inspiration for my individual style from a variety of things. Vogue and InStyle are two of my favorite magazines to read and get ideas from.”

“One thing i do is never repeat an outfit. One day I could be hipster, another day rocker, with the leather. I’m always dressing up.”

Saying goodbye is never easy, and as we prepare for the retirement of our head principal, Mr. Larry Cooper, we will all remember the fun times that we had together.

“The students are what I will miss,” Cooper said. “Kingwood Park has a great atmosphere, and a wonderful student body, and I will never forget that.” We say farewell to many people in our lives, and some people tend to stay in our hearts. Mr. Cooper should be one of those people. Over the past 42 years, he has given education as much heart and soul as a facilitator can.

“It is a real shame,” Sarah Daniel12 said, “but then again it is a start of a new chapter in the life of our school.” It was revealed on Wednesday November 8, 2011 that Lisa Drabing, the current Associate Principal will be advancing into the spot Mr. Cooper now holds. “Mrs. Drabing has worked tirelessly for the past five years contributing to KPARK’s success,” Government

Teacher Gale Wright said. “We welcome her as our new leader and we’re excited to see what will happen in the future of our school

. On the same note, we are all sad to see Mr. Cooper go.”

Cooper wants Drabing to succeed with the use of his

experience at her disposal.“Kingwood Park is all about

the atmosphere,” Cooper said. “It’s about everyone making it a safe environment for the students to learn and feel at home.”

Even though Mr. Cooper is leaving us for now, he has one last piece of advice for his students to keep in mind.

“Always remember who you are,” Cooper said. “Remember the people who love you, and tell them you love them everyday. Take time to love and respect yourself. Always remember who your real friends are because you never know what tomorrow will bring.”

Brian Johnson, former Assistant Principal at Kingwood High School has been named as the new

Associate Principal. He is very excited to serve KPARK in his new position.

“I have already spent a few days on campus and I absolutely love it,” Johnson said. “Everyone here has so much pride in being a KPARK Panther. I feel very lucky to get to be a part of that.”

Drabing shares the excitement as she ajusts to her new position. She

Newly announced Associate Principal Brian Johnson and School Prin-cipal Lisa Drabing look forward to their new roles at KPARK.

“I Will Always Remember Kingwood

Park.” - Principal Larry Cooper

wants to continue Cooper’s legacy, as well as starting her own.

“I can’t begin to describe the sense of pride, excitement, and honor I feel,” Drabing said. “I want to strive for continuous improvement with instruction and learning...It is an incredible feeling to walk through the halls of Kingwood Park High School every day.”

Cooper has most definitely been an important and influential person walking the halls of this campus for the past 13 years (5 as principal of KPARK, and 8 as principal of the former KHS Ninth Grade Campus.

However, he feels it is time to pass the scepter, and give our school a chance to continue to grow in new ways.

As for Cooper, he plans on taking time to spend with his family, to travel, and to possible run for a position on the School Board; and, don’t be surprised if he’s your substitute teacher next year!

DISTRICT CHAMPSCross Country strives for success

The women’s cross country team is one of the most well known at KPARK. They are a group of motivated, hard working girls that strive for excellence.

“I think if we focus on getting better each week, we have a chance at being very good,” Coach Brittney Lanehart said.

The girls endure long practices early in the morning and after school, but it all eventually pays off.

“Our first goal is always

to try to win our district, and after that we will turn out our focus to the regional and state meets,” Lanehart said.

The girls claimed the district title on October 1, and on November 6, Destilyn Lindberg secrured a spot to compete at the state meet in Austin where she performed well.

The mens’ team is also notorious for their dedication and hard work. The team hopes to get better each week, and to run

their best times. “We practice everyday,

morning and in the afternoon. The runners sacrifice a lot of their time to accomplish the goals they have set. We want to run our best races at District, but our goal of course is to run at the state meet

and put ourselves in a position to win,” Coach Chris Elliot said.

The men also claimed the district title, but were unable to advance any runners to the regional or state level.

Tennis makes fifth straight appearance

The mens’ and womens’ tennis teams worked hard again this year to clinch their fifth straight district championship and regional tournament appearance.

Under the direction of Coach Wade Bartels, both teams prepare for their fall and spring seasons with lots of hard work, singles and doubles drills, challenge matches,

inter-squad matches and lots of conditioning.

“We are currently ranked 21st in the state in TTCA poll. ” Bartels said.

The teams’ Regional tournament was October 28 and 29, but the teams fell short in their run for the title and an opportunity to compete at the state level.

Football makes playoffs for second year

The varsity football team showed what being a panther is all about by winning the district championship and advancing to the state playoffs for the second year in a row.

Senior Ari Nelson and varsity team captain, felt that this season brought everybody closer together.

“We won district, came back after a loss, and came together as a team. I’m so proud of everybody on the team,” Nelson said.

One of the most memorable moments for the team was beating Humble.

“The look on Humble’s face made victory that much sweeter,” Nelson said.

With only two losses, the team pushed forward all the way to make the play-offs where they took on Brenham. Despite a hard

fought battle, the team was defeated.

“I was really d i s a p p o i n t e d that we drove two hours and played our hardest only to lose,” said Nelson.

We can all be proud of our

Panther football boys and can also congratulate Ari for making the All-district team.

Volleyball takes District, competes at Regionals

This was a head-turning season for the varsity volleyball team. They took the heat and brought all they had to the table.

Emily Salter12, varsity captain, was very excited for this season.

“The team had great chemistry with one another, and we won district which brought us all closer together,” Salter said.

Even though next year the team won’t have the same girls playing together, Salter had some wise words to leave

for the future team.“It’s going to be hard to

say goodbye to everyone, but I hope that they never give up and try to make their school proud. I know that next year they will work really hard, and hopefully win districts and go to the playoffs,” Salter said.

The team really bonded this year, working together to accomplish big goals like making it to the playoffs.

Fine Arts

Art “My favorite thing about

art, is that you get to express yourself and create anything you want.” Korey McMahan12 said. This year in all art classes have been very productive.

The art class has been busily creating pieces for the scholastic art and writing contest and coming around the corner is the annual rodeo art competition.

“Art is so much fun, and you can be free to be yourself and create anything that comes to mind.” Jacquelyn Huff11 said.

“I’d give anything, if that little red haired girl sent me a valentine.”

It would be hard to find anyone who couldn’t guess who that quote is from, especially if he/she attended the recent production, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

“I picked Charlie Brown because it had reasonable size cast, fairly easy set to build, and classic characters that everyone will recognize,” The director, Diane Kaste said.

The outstanding characters were created by cartoonist, Charles M. Shultz, and the music and lyrics were created by, Clark Gesner.

The musical premiered on October 27 and had its final performance October 29. “You’re a Good Man Charlie was filled with comical lyrics, joyful melody’s, and

hilarious dialog. The KPARK Madrigals

preformed at the Texas Renaissance Festival, on November 1. They competed against The Woodlands High School, Houston School of Performing and Visual Arts, and Montgomery ISD High School choirs.

“After every song they sang our judge made comments under her breath like, “Wow!” or “YES!” or just hummed

and nodded her head,” Choir Director James Park said.

So its not a surprise that the Madrigals pocketed another win. “Once again [we were] being awarded with a First Place medal at the Early Music Competition,” Park said. “The weather was perfect and the festival grounds were lively.”

Theatre Chior

Band Dance Orchestra

In each event that the KPARK band plays for, (football games, concerts, or pep rallies) the band gets the crowd excited and has up tapping our feet to the rythym. The band just recently

had region band auditions. A great number of KPARK students excelled in the audition.

“We are very proud of our students; it is a great honor.” Band Director John Nielsen said.

On December 12, the band will have a Christmas concert at Kingwood Park High School at 7:00 pm.

“Band is so much fun, we are all like one big family,” Randal Cox said.

Band is always welcoming new students to join the KPARK band family.

When the Silver Stars perform, you can expect great costumes, sassy attitudes, and most importantly, perfected dance routines.

Not only can the girls dance but all of the students were one hundred p e r c e n t eligible on the first six weeks

“It is a lot of fun,” Destiny D a r l i n g 1 1 said.”It’s a chance to get out of your comfort zone and try s o m e t h i n g

new. Plus, it’s an opportunity to meet new people and express yourself.”

The Silver Stars are c u r r e n t l y p r e p p i n g for Holiday Follies and compet i t i on routines.

Orchestra got the year off to a busy start and recently held their annual winter concert on December 1. They have solo and ensemble contest and U.I.L music contest coming and with all the competition, there comes hours of practice. Orchestra has one small group rehearsal per week and extensive after school tutoring.

“Mr. Astwood [was] teaching orchestra long before the students of KPARK were born.” Brent Hedgwood10 said.

His experience in teaching orchestra has helped the students excel, and he has aided getting so many of his students into reigns.

“The music is beautiful, awesome, and relaxing,” Hedgwood said.

Q: Dear Penelope,I’m looking for my first job, but I have no idea what job would be good for me! Can you help me?

Q: Dear Penelope, I’m having trouble staying on top of my grades. What are some study tips to help me make the grade?

Q: Dear Penelope,I’m going on my first date with this girl I really like. Do you have any date ideas to make it really special?

Q: Dear Penelope,I’m a senior this year, and it’s going to be rough saying goodbye to all of my friends. Do you have any tips to help make saying goodbye easier?

A: Everybody has trouble with landing that first job. A job that would be good to start out with would be a tutor. If you know that you are strong in one area of academics, why not help out another student? You can set your own pay, and you get to have a huge feeling of accomplishment! Another job you might like could be working at the nearest movie theater. You get a ton of free movies, a lot of down time, and free popcorn. Whatever you choose, make sure you leave room for school!

A: School is the most important thing to stay focused on. Make sure you study alone, or with a group of friends who are serious about studying. Save the social time for after you ace that test! Have a healthy snack inbetween studying. Everybody needs some brain food! Another thing you could do is turn your notes into flash cards. It helps you to better remember the information, and it’s a fun way to study!

A: First dates are always really exciting! A great first date is to cook her dinner. It shows that you are capable of feelings and a great opportunity to show off your cooking skills. If cooking isn’t really your thing, you could take her bowling, to a roller rink, or to mini golf. Whatever you choose, make sure both of you have a great time!

A: Saying goodbye is always difficult, especially to those who you’re really close to. If you want to keep in touch with your friends after you go your seperate ways, you can use email, Facebook, snail mail, and texting to keep eachother updated. Make sure to prioritize your friendships. Changing the faces of your friendships is a normal part of growing up, and even though it can be heartbreaking, it is something that everybody endures and survives. A vital step in maintaining the friendships that matter the most is meshing your worlds.

I stand aloneIn a puddle filled with memories

Faces, distorted by the ripples, smiling at meMemories of a past,

A life no longer mine.The moments linger, memories remain

Solid evidence of what was,A painful reminder of something lost…

ANKLE DEEP IN A POOL OF MEMORIES

I watch as time passes byHappiness, growing farther away,

A distant memory.But the memories, although painful,

Always there, never fadingNOW, RISEN PAST MY WAIST

I want to reach outTo grab hold of the line of time

Wishing I could prevent itFrom continuing any further,

To pull it backUndoing the wrong,

To rip out any unwanted fragments,Savagely tearing it to nonexistence

EVEN HIGHER, IT CLAWS AT MY THROAT

With a firm grip on the line, I pull.But time moves forward,

Refusing to give into my will,Never faltering, but moving faster,

With my hands still on the lineIt burns me,

Leaving my hold,Giving up the futile struggle against time

The pool continues to rise,Reaching over my head

Blocking the lightPreventing life from entering my body.

I could fight it, I could win…But what’s the point?

I wait calmly, patiently,As time passes by,My line thinning.The sounds fade,My vision blurs…

But the memories remain,Until my time has comeUntil everything ends

UNTIL ALL GOES BLACK

Kingwood Park was bustling with an air of anticipation. The theme for 2011 was “Lassaiz Les Bon Temp Roulez” which means “Let the Good Times Roll” in French. That theme paired with a 1920s flaire made spirit week a lot of fun this year.

“Spirit week really boosted school spirit,” Destiny Darling11 said.

That’s what it was for. From wearing crazy socks to dressing like a “nerd,” it was designed to allow us to show our school spirit and let us have fun. But that’s not the only reason why people liked it.

“It was so cool,” Erin White11 said. “I liked how everyone tried to participate.”

In the halls, it was easy to see how much fun students and teachers had getting into the spirit. On any given day, you could see groups of people adhering to the theme.

“My friends and I made a bucket list last year and on it we decided that we were going

to dress up everyday for spirit week,” Shalini Maharaj12 said, “I just wanted to be able to cross that off.”

Homecoming spirit week was a whirlwind of fun. Even though our Homecoming game on September 30 didn’t hold an outcome of victory, the dance was greater than any of us expected.

From the twinkling lights that hung above our heads, to the music that was pumping through our blood, the dance was awe inspiring. The roaring twenties and New Orleans spirit was

adequately captured by every decoration. A steamboat in our commons? How much more cool could it get?

The whole night was easily summed up into one statement by junior Danielle Bryant: “It was a night to remember.”

And that it was.

Families bundled up and made their way to West Lake Houstion Parkway to witness the second-ever Spirit of Kingwood Parade.

The parade was designed to show the spirit of Kingwood high schools and middle schools, along with local businesses and other events around the Kingwood area.

C h e e r l e a d e r, Lauren Jones9, thought the parade was a good idea.

“I liked it.” Jones said, “But they should have advertised it more. Not a lot of

people turned out to see it and it would have been a lot cooler if more people showed up.”

Some of the floats promoted a positive message.

“The Team Joseph float was my favorite”, Bailey McAndrew11 said. “It was really cute and it sent a great message out to everyone that was there.”

This wasn’t the first parade for band member, Sarah Bear12, but to her it was by far, one of the best.

“I like how the schools collabarateed

together,” Bear said, “It shows what sprit Kingwood can really bring out.”

O r g a n i z a t i o n s from our school also went for an undeniable experience together.

“It was a unifying for our choir to go,” Chelsea Mockbee11 said.

People put aside their differences to come together like a true family.

“It was so great to get to walk in the parade,” Jamie Eley,11 Student Council leader said. “Also, I enjoyed seeing all of the schools in Kingwood partner together.”

Even in the chilly weather, our unity showed how warm Kingwood can be when we all stand together.
