About Cypress Springs

Cypress Springs High School, CSHS,or more knowingly as Cy-Springs is located at 7909 Fry Road, in Cypress, an unincorporated community in Harris County, Texas, with a ZIP code of 77433.

Cypress Springs High School, the home of Student Panthers, 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 2008, the school's principal is Mrs. Barbara Weiman, one of the former Associate Principal before her promotion to being Principle. Prior to Mrs. Weiman becoming principal, Mrs. Sarah Harty was principal, until she was chosen to be the first principal of nearby Cypress Lakes High School which opened in 2008.

The school's floor plan, same as the floor plans of: Cypress Lakes, Cypress Ranch, Cypress Ridge, and Cypress Woods, could be compared to that of a small shopping mall with two floors, and hallways with classrooms on either side branching off of the central hallway, with the cafeteria (Commons) in the middle.

Cy-Springs History & Background

The graduating class of 2008 was Cypress Springs' largest senior class with over 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 over 4,000 students due to the building boom taking place in the local area, making for a crowded school and crowded hallways.

Some interesting facts about the early years of Cy-Springs are:

• Many students came from Langham Creek High School
• The football team went undefeated
• A tornado hit the school the first year
• The second year brought a flood and another tornado
• The faculty thought that they were prepared for the first day of school, but they didn't have any pencil sharpeners!

• There were only 2 lunches
• We had Homecoming Prince and Princess
• We only used about 4 rooms per hallway
• Cat Ostermen was a freshman
