History

Cypress Woods, announced in 2005 as Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District High School #8, is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. The school opened in the fall of 2006 due to rapid growth of CFISD.[3] The 504,626-square-foot (46,881.3 m2) campus was built at a cost of 50.9 million United States dollars[4][5] by Pepper-Lawson Incorporated on a 182-acre (0.74 km2) site. The campus was designed by PBK. CWHS relieved Cy-Fair High School and Cypress Falls High School.

The first graduating class was the Class of 2009. About 140 staff members (including 100 teachers) served about 2,100 students when Cypress Woods opened.

The first group of students joined the administration in selecting the school's mascot, Wildcats, prior to the school's opening. The board of trustees approved crimson red and gold as the school's colors.[6]

In 2017, as part of high school rezoning, a portion of Cypress Woods's attendance zone will be reassigned to Cypress Ranch High School, and vice versa.[7][8]

Campus

The school shares a campus with Robson Elementary School and Spillane Middle School; this campus takes up 182 acres (74 ha) of space.[9] The Carlton Banks Center (colloquially the Carlton Center) is connected to the high school building and provides pre-vocational programs for students with disabilities.[10] The school participates in a variety of varsity level sports at the 6A level and club level. The 6A sports include: baseball; basketball; cross country; football; golf; soccer; softball; tennis; swimming and diving; track and field; volleyball; and wrestling.[11] The club sports include: bowling; fishing; ice hockey; lacrosse; and water polo.[12]

Notable alumni
gollark: Unused tabs don't occupy much RAM, and I enabled the setting to keep tabs when I open and close it, so it works nicely.
gollark: Well, because I inconsistently jump around between various things, and use tabs as markers of "look at this at some point".
gollark: Big difference.
gollark: I don't have *100*, I have *310ish*.
gollark: But they *do* run in the background, to some extent.
