Agricultural Centers - Built on district property on Eldridge Road, adjacent to new transportation center site. The agricultural center was designed by CLR Architects and built in conjunction with the new transportation center. A second agricultural center was also built on district property on Telge Road, adjacent to the Exhibit Center. CLR Architects designed the center. Sharing the site on North Eldridge adjacent to Cypress Ridge High School, the district’s fourth transportation center and first Ag farm opened in December 2004. Both facilities share similar design traits and color scheme with the neighboring high school. The second Ag farm was built on Telge Road and is identical to the first Ag facility except that it shares similar design traits and color schemes with the neighboring security building and exhibit center.

Berry Center & Athletic Stadium - Completed in March 2006 on a 65-acre site at Barker Cypress and West Road.

Cypress Lakes High School, High School No. 10 - Opened in August 2008 and is located on Greenhouse Road, South of FM 529 and was designed by PBK Architects. Cypress Lakes was originally scheduled to open for the 2009-2010 school year; however due to the high level of growth in the southwest part of the district, there was a need to provide enrollment relief for Cypress Springs High School for the 2008-2009 school year.

Cypress Ranch High School, High School No. 9 - Opened in August 2008 and is located on the 130 acre multi-campus site at Fry Road and Cypress North Houston, was awarded to Pepper-Lawson Construction, L.P. in the amount of $68,673,095.00. The contract amount is $162,855.00 under budget. High School No. 9 is a repeat design of Cypress Woods High School. Both high schools were designed by PBK Architects, Inc. with modifications to existing plans used in the construction of Cypress Woods, Cypress Ridge and Cypress Springs high schools. Each new school has a modified footprint which includes the relocation of the library above the main lobby. New mandates from the Texas Education Agency require additional square footage for the science labs and library from previous high school designs which are incorporated into the final designs.

The Board approved the swimming pool option 2 for High Schools No. 9 and No. 10 which consists of a six-lane, 25-yard practice pool constructed at Cypress Lakes and an eight-lane, 25-yard meet pool with a five-lane, warm-up pool area at Cypress Ranch.
