Cy-Fair High School is a secondary school located in Cypress, which is an unincorporated place in Harris County, Texas, near Houston.[3][4] The school is located along U.S. Highway 290 and is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. Cy-Fair High School is the only CFISD high school with a hyphen in its official name.[3] The school mascot is the bobcat, and the school's colors are white and maroon.[5] Students attending the school have classes from 7:15 a.m. to 2:40 p.m.[6]

History

[edit]

Establishment of the Cypress and Fairbanks's separate school systems, Cypress School, and Rural High School No. 5

[edit]

When the New Orleans Railroad Company's track line to Houston was built in 1856, two towns were established, with Cypress on one side of the track and Fairbanks on the other. Cypress and Fairbanks remained being two separate towns with separate school systems throughout the early 1900s. Though both of their school systems had schools for children up to eighth grade, once they reached high school, students in Fairbanks had to travel to Houston every day for school, and the Cypress high school students had to travel to Addicks.[8]

A 20-acre plot of land that was handed out to the district by Louis Telge, also known as the grandfather of the previous School Board members John and Chester Telge. On the newly donated land, 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".[9][10] When it was first built in 1884, the building was a one-room school, however, over the years, new rooms were built on, and soon enough, the Cypress School later consisted of seven rooms, a superintendent's office, a library, and a wood-framed schoolhouse for high school students by 1937. By that year, however, was when elementary and high school students who went to this school were divided up, and the high school students transitioned to a separate facility.[8][10][1] The facility they were transferred to was Rural High School No. 5, built in 1937,[10] which was part of the Fairbanks School District.[1] In December, 1939, the citizens living in the area voted to combine the two districts into one united district.[8][9]

The opening of Cy-Fair High School, Racial Desegregation, Carverdale Students, and Jersey Village High School

[edit]

Finally, a few years after Cypress and Fairbanks had officially consolidated, Cy-Fair High School was officially opened in the Spring of 1942, and students from Rural High School No. 5 were transferred to the new school. First lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, visited the school on the day it opened.[1] The school received its accreditation less than a year after opening.[10] According to Community Impact, Jane Ledbetter with the Cypress Historical Society had said that the school "really solidified the two districts coming together." and that it was "symbolic". Meanwhile, the wood-framed schoolhouse at the Cypress School burned down that same year.[8]

In 1944, CFISD’s cypress agriculture and rodeo program was established. The next year, the program brought brought in $12,000.[11]

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.[10] 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.[9]

Somewhat close to Cy-Fair High school was the Carverdale School for African-American students, which was founded in 1925 when a German dairy farmer donated his farmhouse, which was first used as a Baptist church and school for younger students. The next year, it was given the name, "Fairbanks Colored School". There were very few teachers working there at the time. For example, Clara Scott was the sole teacher of the school from 1928-1951. [12][13]

Soon enough, by 1956, it served students ranging from first grade to 12th grade, was relocated to Clara Road (named after Clara Scott in her honor in 1937). This was also the year the school got its final name change to "Caverdale School". Plus, the school already had a choir room, band hall, and library by that point. Eventually, the school had a gymnasium, a home economics department, auto mechanics shop class, and a science lab. Like Cy-Fair, the school was progressive rapidly and also embraced the open model concept for the school. Later on, in 1967, 800 of the students at Caverdale school began enrolling at Cy-Fair High School, under the "Freedom of Choice" option. [12][14][13]

On August 3rd of 1970, the school was permanently shut down due to a school board vote, so all high school aged students who went to the school were now attending Cy-Fair High School. The building for the Caverdale School was repurposed into a campus for the Houston Community College shortly after. However, unfortunately, the building was later completely torn down, with warehouses being built in its place. [13][14][12]

Cy-Fair High School remained the only standing high school in the Cypress Fairbanks School District until Jersey Village High School opened in 1972.[10]

School Renovation starting in the 90s, 2016 Flood, 2017 Super Bowl, Rezoning, and Hurricane Harvey

[edit]

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.[15]

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 April 2016 North American storm complex, 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.[16][17][18]

On Sunday, February 5, 2017, the Cy-Fair High School Brigade, along with many other dance teams from the school district, performed with Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl LI Halftime show that took place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.[19][20]

As part of high school rezoning, a portion of Cy-Fair's attendance zone, as well as portions of Cypress Falls High School and Cypress Woods High School's attendance zones, was to be reassigned to Cypress Ranch High School in 2017.[21][22]

On August 26, 2017, the school was, once again, flooded, as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Cy-Fair High School, as well as all of the schools in the Cypress Fairbanks District, postponed the first day of school for the school year of 2017-2018 for two weeks before reopening and setting its new first day of the school year on September 11, 2017.[23][24][25] Shortly after the hurricane hit, Cy-Fair High School's rugby team volunteered to clean out the flood-damaged homes within their community, twenty-seven homes being the total amount that they helped to clean out. As a result, they were honored with a plaque for their contributions to the community.[26]

Covid-19 Pandemic, 2021 Snow Storm, Construction of adjacent Visual and Performing Arts Center, Firearm in Bathroom Trashcan, Budget Cut for School Buses

[edit]

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic that started COVID-19 lockdowns 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.[27][28]

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 remote learning program, this program that was put for the 2020–21 school year would be held on to for students after the COVID-19 pandemic in case remote learning is needed in the future due to an emergency. 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 innumerable technological barriers that had been in the way of students and teachers before.[29][30]

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 February 2021 North American cold wave, that lasted from February 11 until February 20, which resulted in the 2021 Texas power crisis. It left more than 60 of the campuses throughout the district with massive water damage, some suffering with burst pipes caused by power outages and extremely low temperatures. The students were able to return to school on February 22, with the damages being fixed.[31][32][33]

In the school year 2020–2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cy-Fair High School students, staff, and teachers were required to wear a face mask on campus to protect each other from contacting COVID-19. Although Governor Greg Abbott 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.[34][35][36]

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 until the pandemic was over.[37]

Out of all of the schools in the Cypress Fairbanks School District, Cy-Fair High School has had the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the 2021–22 school year, according to district data.[38]

In 2019, plans for building the CFISD Visual and Performing Arts Center were made official when a bond for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD was approved on May of that year. It was to be located directly across the street from Cy-Fair High School, on Matzke Road.[39] In April 2022, construction for the CFISD Visual and Performing Arts Center began.[40]

On November, 2023, it was officially opened. It is an 85,000 sq. ft. building with an 1,500 auditorium, small secondary theater, visual arts display, dance studio, and so on.[41][42]

On Thursday, May 23, 2024, a firearm was found in a trashcan in one of the boys' restrooms. According to Principal Ana Martin, once the school's administration figured out who had brought the gun to the school, the student or students involved (identities are unknown to the public) were severely punished.[43]

For school year 2024-2025, due to limited money issues of the district, a budget reduction for school buses was made for all schools at CFISD,[44][45] causing changes to bus routes that faced backlash from students and parents alike, from all schools, with 79 bus routes being cut with no warning, massive traffic jams, and four children getting into accidents while walking or cycling to school for long distance in busy and not so pedestrian-friendly streets.[46][47][48]

Academics

[edit]

For the 2018–2019 school year, the school received an A grade from the Texas Education Agency, with an overall score of 90 out of 100. The school received a B grade in two domains, School Progress (score of 87) and Closing the Gaps (score of 85), and an A grade in Student Achievement (score of 92). The school received one of the seven possible distinction designations for Top 25%: Comparative Academic Growth.[49] Cy-Fair was one out of the thirteen CFISD schools have been named to the 2018-2019 Texas Honor Roll, which is an award that recognizes public elementary, middle and high schools that demonstrate high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and reduction in achievement gaps. For high schools, Honor Roll recognition includes measures of college readiness in students.[50]

The average SAT score at Cy-Fair High School was 1177 for 2018-2019 graduates. The average ACT score was 20.5.[51]

Athletics

[edit]

Cy-Fair competes athletically in District 17-6A of the University Interscholastic League.[52]

Football

[edit]

In 1976, the Bobcats clinched the 16-4A Conference Championship with one of the most electrifying offenses in the Houston area, racking up an impressive average of over 30 points per game. Despite their stellar season, the Bobcats' run ended in the state playoffs, where they fell to a powerhouse Temple Wildcats squad that advanced to the state championship game.

The 1985 football team finished with a 13-1-1 record, losing to perennial power Permian High School 7–10 in the 5A state semifinals.[53]

In 1987, a third-round playoff game against North Mesquite High School ended in a 28–28 tie, with Cy-Fair advancing to the next round due to a 6–5 advantage in penetrations within the 20-yard line.[54] They lost to the eventual champion Plano Senior High School 21–24 in the 5A state quarterfinals.[55]

In 2017, the football team was undefeated with a 15–0 record, winning the 6A Division 2 State Championship over Midway High School.[56]

Boys' Basketball

[edit]

The 1969-70 boys' basketball team advanced to the 3A state championship game, losing in the final.[57]

In the 1970–71 season, the team won the 4A State Championship,[58] and were given the honorific title of "National Champions."[59] The 1970–71 season was the first in 4A for Cy-Fair High School[60] It is worth noting that Cy-Fair only used five players in the State Championship game against Wheatley. The five were twin brothers Ronald and Donald Dunlap, Jerry Mercer, Bobby Metcalf and Andrew Jones. Jones transferred to Cy-Fair from Carverdale, when Carverdale was closed in the summer of 1970. The other four starters played on the 1969-1970 State 3A runner-up team.

It's worth noting that Cy-Fair's head coach, Ronnie Truitt, has a special connection to basketball history. He was a member of the 1954 Milan (Ind.) High boys basketball team, the very team that inspired the classic film "Hoosiers."

The team advanced to the 4A state semifinals in the 1977–78 season. Led by all state selection Alan Howard [61]

Boys' basketball was co-district champion for the first time in over a decade in the 2019–20 season achieving a 25–9 overall record and 13–2 in district.[62]

Girls' Basketball

[edit]

The girls' basketball team won the 5A state championship in the 2007–08 season, defeating DeSoto High School in the final with senior All-American Nneka Ogwumike and her sister sophomore Chiney Ogwumike.[63] The team won another 5A state championship in the 2009–10 season.[64]

Volleyball

[edit]

The 1986-87 girls' volleyball team were the 5A state champions, defeating Amarillo High School in the final.[65]

The 2007-2008 girls' volleyball team competed in 5A Region III District 17, achieving a 45–3 overall record with an undefeated district season at 15–0. The team ranked 5th in the state of Texas and 49th nationally.[66]

The 2013-14 girls' volleyball team competed in 5A Region III District 17, achieving a 45–4 overall record with an undefeated district season at 18–0. The team ranked 8th in the state of Texas and 47th nationally.[67]

Cross Country

[edit]

The Cy-Fair high school girls’ cross country teams placed among the top 15 teams at the UIL Class 6A Cross Country State Championships, held on November 8, 2014, at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. Cy-Fair placed 10th overall with a score of 235.[68]

Swimming

[edit]

The 2021-2022 girls’ swim team claimed the District 17-6A titles, with 140 points, on February 2, 2022.[69]

[edit]

Band

[edit]

On October 14, 2017, the Cy-Fair High School marching band claimed the grand champion award, or first place in Enrollment Class V, repeating in earning the top award at the third annual Battle at the Berry Marching Contest at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium. It was hosted by the Cypress Springs High School marching band. It featured 19 bands from across the Houston area competing in four different classifications based on marching band enrollments.[70]

On April 2, 2022, at the Texas Color Guard Circuit Percussion/Winds State Championship Finals that was held at Texas A&M University's Reed Arena, Cy-Fair High School's indoor percussion ensemble won in its distinct division, known as the Percussion Scholastic Open division. They were first place in the Percussion Scholastic Open.[71] They performed their winning performance at 7:35 pm on April 2.[72]

On September 30, 2023, the Cy-Fair High School marching band won their first Bands of America Shenandoah regional, or first place in Enrollment Class AAAA, at the North Houston Bands of America regional Marching Contest at Woodforest bank stadium. They won with 81.000 as their score. It was hosted by the College park High School marching band. It featured 33 bands from across the Houston area competing in two different classifications based on school enrollment.[73]

Just shortly after, on October 30, 2023, at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, the Cy-Fair High School marching band competed at the UIL Class 6A State Marching Band Championships. The following day, on October 31, 2023, at 3:30 pm, the CFHS marching band performed, "Caging the Swarm" in the Finals Round. The significance of the band's placement in the final round is that, since the establishment of the 6A classification in 2006, this was the first time the band made it to the final round for 6A in the school's history, and the Cy-Fair and Bridgeland bands were the school district's first ever participants in the Finals Round.[74][75]

Almost a year later, on September 28, 2024, at the Bands Of America North Houston Regional located at Woodforest Bank Stadium in Conroe, Texas, the school's band earned a second place spot for their production, “Gravity.”[76]

[edit]

In the 25th annual Texas State German Contest that happened in 2007, held at the University of Texas at Austin, Cy-Fair High School was placed in second place, followed by Austin Westwood High School.
