History

1884-1942: Establishment of the Cypress and Fairbanks's separate school systems

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.

A 20-acre plot of land was handed out to the district by Louis Telge, also known as the grandfather of the previous School Board members John and Chester Telge. In 1884, the Big Cypress Schoolhouse, No. 2. Dist. 6, was built on the newly donated land in Cypress, Texas. It was also called the "Cypress School". The building was originally a one-room school, however, over the years, the Cypress School was expanded to include seven rooms, a superintendent's office, a library, and a wood-framed schoolhouse for high school students. By 1937, the high school students were transferred to a separate facility, the newly built Rural High School No. 5, which was part of the Fairbanks School District. In December 1939, the citizens living in the area voted to combine the two districts into one united district.

1942-1972: Opening of Cy-Fair High School, racial desegregation, Carverdale students, and Jersey Village High School

In the spring of 1942, Cy-Fair High School was officially opened, 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. The school received its accreditation less than a year after opening. According to Community Impact, Jane Ledbetter with the Cypress Historical Society stated that the school "really solidified the two districts coming together". The wood-framed schoolhouse at the Cypress School burned down in late 1942.

In 1944, CFISD’s Cypress Agriculture and Rodeo Program was established. The following year, the program brought in $12,000.

The Cypress area was quite rural at the time of the school's grand opening, however, in the latter half of the 20th century, Cypress was transitioning from rural to suburban.

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, the school was renamed Fairbanks Colored School. At the time, very few teachers worked at the school. From 1928 to 1951, Clara Scott was the school's only teacher.

By 1956, Fairbanks Colored School, which served students ranging from first grade to 12th grade, relocated to Clara Road (named after Clara Scott in her honor in 1937). The school's name was changed to Caverdale School, and was expanded to include a gymnasium, a home economics department, auto mechanics shop class, and a science lab. Like Cy-Fair, the school was progressing rapidly and embracing the open model concept for schools. In 1967, Caverdale students began enrolling at Cy-Fair High School under the "Freedom of Choice" option, eventually totaling 800.

On August 3, 1970, the Caverdale School was closed due to a school board vote. All high school-aged students were transferred to Cy-Fair High School. The Caverdale School building was repurposed into a campus for the Houston Community College. The campus was later torn down, with warehouses being built in its place.

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

1999-2017: School renovation, 2016 flood, rezoning, and Hurricane Harvey

From 1999 to 2001, the school was renovated and further expanded, adding 20 classrooms and a new library. Plans were made to renovate the school in 1998, due to the school becoming increasingly cramped, 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. The roof of the main corridor at the school was soon removed, and the old Cy-Fair Brigade gym was taken down.

Following heavy rainfall, Cy-Fair High School was flooded on April 18, 2016, as a result of the April 2016 North American storm complex, which affected many parts of the greater Houston area. Cy-Fair was one of the 57 campuses in the Cypress Fairbanks District damaged by the flood. All schools in the district were closed for a week.

On 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.

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.

On August 26, 2017, the school was, once again, flooded as a result of Hurricane Harvey. All of the schools in the Cypress Fairbanks District postponed the opening of the school year of 2017–2018 for two weeks before reopening and setting its new first day of the school year on September 11. Shortly after the hurricane hit, Cy-Fair High School's rugby team volunteered to clean out the flood-damaged homes within their community. The team cleaned out 27 homes, and were honored with a plaque for their contributions to the community.

2020-present: COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 snowstorm, bus route budget cuts

In the spring of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks School District shut down their campuses, canceling all in person classes for the rest of the 2019–2020 school year. Students and teachers transitioned to using an online learning program.

At the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year, teachers and students returned to campus for a traditional classroom setting, although students had the option to continue to use online learning at home as well. Cy-Fair students would stop using the online remote learning program during the 2021-2022 school year, except in case of emergencies.

In February 2021, all district schools were shut down when Texas was hit with a snowstorm caused by the February 2021 North American cold wave, which resulted in the 2021 Texas power crisis. The snowstorm left dozens of district campuses with massive water damage, some 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.

Cy-Fair High School had the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the 2021–2022 school year, according to district data.

On May 23, 2024, a gun was reported in a trashcan in one of the boys' restrooms. The school and the Cyress Fairbanks ISD Police Department investigated the incident.

During the 2024-2025 school year, the school bus budget was reduced for all schools at CFISD. 79 bus routes were cut without warning, creating massive traffic jams, and four children getting into accidents while walking or cycling to school on busy streets. All middle and high school students in the district who lived two miles or less from their school lacked access to a school bus, because of the budget reduction.

Academics

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. 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.

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

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.

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. They lost to the eventual champion Plano Senior High School 21–24 in the 5A state quarterfinals.

The 1970–71 season was the first in 4A for Cy-Fair High School 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.

Cy-Fair's head coach, Ronnie Truitt, was a member of the 1954 Milan (Ind.) High boys basketball team, the very team that inspired the film Hoosiers.
