CFISD TRUSTEES APPROVE NAMING OF TWO NEWEST HIGH SCHOOLS: ‘CYPRESS RANCH’ AND ‘CYPRESS LAKES’

 

During the June 12 Board meeting, the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the names of High School #9 and High School #10 which are both scheduled to open in 2008.

Cypress Ranch High School was selected as the name for High School #9 and Cypress Lakes was chosen as the name for High School #10. One of the considerations in naming the two high schools was that it continued the tradition of including “Cypress” in the moniker to reflect the school’s distinction as belonging to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD.  

Cypress Ranch will be located on the 130-acre multi-school site near Blackhorse on Fry Road and Cypress North Houston.   The new campus was designed by PBK Architects and is a repeat design with modifications of Cypress Springs, Cypress Ridge and Cypress Woods high schools.   Cypress Ranch High School is scheduled to be open for ninth- and 10 th-grade students in August of 2008.  

Cypress Lakes High School will be located on a 65-acre trace of land on Greenhouse Road south of West Little York and just south of Patti McFee Elementary School which is currently under construction.   The school was designed by PBK Architects and is modeled after Cypress Springs, Cypress Ridge and Cypress Woods High Schools.   Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2006 and the school is scheduled to open for ninth- and 10 th-grade students for the 2008-2009 school year.  

Colors for both schools were already determined to assist in the design of the building.   The colors for Cypress Ranch are navy and gold and the colors for Cypress Lakes are red and silver. School mascots will be decided by the students after attendance boundaries are determined.
