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.

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.
