History
The district selected PBK Architects as the designer of the new school which uses similar blueprints to the existing Cypress Ridge, Cypress Springs, and Cypress Woods schools, following the design of a mall, that being of one main hallway becoming split into sub-hallways into the rooms. Originally the school was scheduled to open in fall 2009. The rapid growth in CFISD prompted the district to schedule the opening of the school in fall 2008. The School's first (and current) Principal, Sarah Harty, was a former Principal of Cypress Springs High School.[2] The first graduating class was the Class of 2011.
On March 28, 2014, former Houston Rockets and current Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard visited the students at Cypress Lakes High School for winning the "Block Out Violence" program.[3]
