From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cypress Springs High School (aka Cy-Springs) is located at 7909 Fry Rd., in Cypress, an unincorporated community in Harris County, Texas, with a ZIP code of 77433.
Cypress Springs is the largest school in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District.
As of 2006, the school's principal is Sarah Harty. In the 2005-2006 school year, attendance at this high school reached over 4,000 students due to the building boom taking place in the local area, making for a crowded school and a crowded hallway.
The school's floorplan is often compared to that of a small shopping mall, with one central hallway, two floors, and hallways with classrooms on either side branching off of the central hallway.
The school mascot is the Panther. The School's primary spirit color is blue, with red being the secondary color, and white and black being additional colors(though most High Schools in the district make use of black and white as well).
