[edit] 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 on August 16, 2006 due to rapid growth of CFISD [3]. The 504,626 square foot campus was built at a cost of 50.9 million United States dollars [4] [5] by Pepper-Lawson Incorporated on a 182-acre site. The campus was designed by PBK.
Future students voted for the school mascot [6]. The choices were: Wolf, Wolverine, Tiger, Lion, Coyote, and Wildcat. The Wildcat was chosen as CWHS's mascot. The board of trustees approved crimson and gold as the school colors [7].
CWHS relieved Cy-Fair High School (which served Coles Crossing until May 2006) and Cypress Falls High School.
CWHS opened to grades 9 and 10 and will phase in grades 11 and 12. The first graduating class will be during the 2008-2009 school year. About 140 staff members (including 100 teachers) served about 2,100 students when Cypress Woods opened.

Several master-planned subdivisions, such as Coles Crossing [8], Fairfield [9], Lakewood Glen [10], Lakewood Oaks Estates [11], Longwood, Northlake Forest, Rock Creek [12], Stablegate, and Sydney Harbour [13], are zoned to CWHS.
