History


Cypress School, Rural High School No. 5, and the opening of Cy-Fair High School

On a 20-acre site that was donated to the district by Louis Telge, the grandfather of former School Board members John and Chester Telge, a school called, "Big Cypress Schoolhouse, No. 2. Dist. 6," was built in the year of 1884, in Cypress, Texas. It was also called the "Cypress School". This is school was a one room school when first built, however, over the years, new rooms were added, and soon enough, the Cypress School later consisted of seven rooms, a superintendent's office, and a library by 1937, which was when elementary and high school students who went to this school were divided up, and high school students transitioned to a separate facility. Students at the Cypress School were later transitioned to Rural High School No. 5, built in 1937, which was part of the Fairbanks School District. The Cypress and Fairbanks school districts consolidated in 1939. Rural High School No. 5 continued to serve as the district's high school until Cy-Fair High School was finally opened in the spring of 1942. The school received its accreditation less than a year after opening. Since the Cypress area was more rural at the time, many students in the area lived on farms, so the school system had a very strong agricultural program. However, in the latter half of the 20th century, Cypress was transitioning from rural to suburban. As Cypress started to grow rapidly over time, becoming more suburban, the school leaders recognized the need for stronger academics. T.S. Hancock, who was a superintendent from 1955 to 1967, implemented individualized teaching methods and a complete testing program to measure scholastic achievement. The teachers at the school during this time received in-service training, and more emphasis was placed on science, math, electronics, foreign languages, and journalism.


Racial Desegregation, Carverdale Students, Jersey Village High School, and School Renovation

Following court-ordered desegregation, the Carverdale School for African-American students, which was open from 1926-1970 and served students ranging from 1st grade to 12th grade, was permanently shut down on August 3, 1970, and the students who were stationed to attend school at Carverdale school were transferred to Cy-Fair High School.African-American students first began enrolling at Cy-Fair in 1966 under the "Freedom of Choice" option that was available that year. When the former students of Carverdale transferred to Cy-Fair, one member (Andrew Jones) of Carverdale's basketball team joined the Cy-Fair High School team, which won celebrated state and national championships in 1971. Years later, the building that was once Carverdale School was repurposed as the Carverdale campus for the Houston Community College System, only to later become torn down and replaced with industrial warehouses. Cy-Fair High School remained the only standing high school in the Cypress Fairbanks School District until

opened in 1972. For 1999-2001, the school was renovated and expanded, adding 20 classrooms and a new library. Plans were made to renovate the school in 1998, due to the school becoming increasingly cramped over the years and the desire to update the classrooms to make way for advancing technology. Voters approved for a bond issue that granted the school more than $29 million in funding for the restoration of the building. They started in the summer of 1999. The roof of the main corridor at the school was soon removed, and the old Cy-Fair Brigade gym was taken down.


2016 Flood, Super Bowl, Rezoning, and Hurricane Harvey

Cy-Fair High School was flooded after a heavy rainfall on April 18, 2016 that left a flood in the greater Houston area due to the

, sometimes referred to as the "Tax Day Flood" by some. The flood left some damage to Cy-Fair High School, and the carpet had to be replaced in twenty classrooms, as well as the carpet for the school library. The floor for the school's weight room also had to be removed and replaced. Cy-Fair was one of the 57 campuses in the Cypress Fairbanks District that faced damage due to the flood. Unsurprisingly, all of the schools in the district were closed from April 18–22. On Sunday, February 5, 2017, the Cy-Fair High School Brigade, along with many other dance teams from the school district, performed with

during the spring of 2020, Cy-Fair High School and the rest of the schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks School District shut down their campuses, cancelling all in person classes for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year and transitioning them to an online learning option that was created for students and teachers to use online without being on campus. When the new school year 2020-2021 rolled around, teachers and some students returned to campus for a traditional classroom setting, although students had the option to continue to use online learning at home that year as well. Some officials have said that they believe that the students benefited with the in-person option rather than the newer online option. For 2021-2022, though Cy-Fair students would no longer have the option to learn via the online option, the online remote learning program put for the 2020-21 school year would be used continually for students after the COVID-19 pandemic in case remote learning is needed in the future. Linda Macias, also known as The Chief Academic Officer, said that because of CFISD needing to create the online learning program due to the pandemic, the school district had broken down a lot technological barriers that had been in the way of students and teachers before. In February 2021, Cy-Fair High School and the rest of the school district were shut down when Texas was hit with a snowstorm, caused by the

made his announcement that went effective on March 10, 2021, which stated that Texans will no longer be required by state law to wear a mask in public, the school and the other schools in the district were still legally allowed to implement mask mandates. However, later on, in May of that same year, the district soon had no choice but to end the mandate due to Abbott signing an executive order that banned government entities, including public schools, from mandating masks. Therefore, face masks in Cy-Fair High School, and every other school in their district, were restricted from being able to choose whether or not to make mask mandates active in 2021-2022. On the other hand, they were able to keep social distancing guidelines in Cy-Fair High School, like in all of the schools in the district. Out of all of the schools in the Cypress Fairbanks School District, Cy-Fair High School has had the highest number of confirmed cases in the 2021-22 school year, according to district data.
