Cisco High School is a public high school located in Cisco, Texas, United States, and classified as a 2A school by the University Interscholastic League (UIL). It is part of the Cisco Independent School District located in western Eastland County. In 2013, the school was rated "met standard" by the Texas Education Agency.

History

Rupert Richardson, who became a prominent Texas historian and president of Hardin–Simmons University, was principal of the school in 1915-16.

In 1963, part of the existing high school had been closed off due to structural failure, leaving the then-309 students using the west and center sections of the school built in 1923. A new building was built and opened in 1964, which cost $600,000 to build, and the old school was demolished.

In 2006, the new music facility at the high school was named the J.J. Haynie Band Hall in honor of trumpeter John Haynie, who played with the high school band when he was in elementary school, and went on to become a music professor at the University of North Texas.
