Cypress Springs High School was established in 1997, making it the sixth high school within Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District to open its doors to students in the Cypress and Katy areas. Since 2015, the school's principal has been Dr. Cheryl T. Henry. From 2012 to 2015, the school's principal was Travis Fanning and from 2008 to 2012, the school's principal was Barbara Weiman, one of the former Associate Principals before her promotion. Prior to Mrs. Weiman becoming principal, Sarah Harty was principal, until she was chosen to be the first principal of nearby Cypress Lakes High School which opened in 2008. The first principal to serve was Alan Meek, who helped establish the school in 1997.[2] [3]
History
The school first opened in 1997, becoming the sixth school in CFISD. The graduating class of 2008 was Cypress Springs' largest senior class with more than 1,000 students walking the stage at the Richard E. Berry Educational Support Center to receive their diplomas.
In the 2005–2006 school year, attendance at this high school reached more than 4,000 students due to the building boom taking place in the local area, making for a crowded school and crowded hallways.
In 2017, a team of school staff made an appearance on the second episode of the American cooking reality show The F Word under the name “School Pride” where they won against “The Cooking Cubans.”[4]
