History

The Cypress and Fairbanks school districts (an area now in northwest Houston) consolidated in 1939 and yet another new facility was built. Cy-Fair High School was opened in the spring of 1941. Cy-Fair High School remained the only high school (not including Carverdale High School, the African-American school prior to integration) in the Cy-Fair CSD (now ISD) until Jersey Village High School opened in 1972. There are now 11 high schools in CFISD.

The school, which had expanded for several decades beyond the original 1941 design, was modernized after the 1999-2000 school year. Additional classrooms were added during the renovation. The façade at the front main doors remain.
