Cypress Springs High School

What a great beginning! Thank you for your continued support of your scholar and our school! Because of your support we have had a great start. Our scholars are thriving - in the classroom, in the hallways, and in their extra-curricular activities.

We asked you to help us improve our attendance, and we are off to a great start! Our goal is to reach at least 90% on time attendance each day (each grade level) and to exceed 92% overall attendance each week! So far, our scholars have done an exceptional job! Thank you for making the adjustments to ensure they arrive to school on time each day AND thank you for reminding them to be on time to each class each day. Our teachers have worked hard to make sure they are providing high-quality, engaging instruction from bell to bell. Thank you for helping us to remind our scholars that when you miss school - you miss out!

Homecoming week was a great success! Not only did our scholars show up all week and participate in all the great activities, they showed up in the classroom and worked hard academically. Our athletic teams are thriving, we are having a great year and there is so much more to come.

We are sharing just a few of our successes from last year (2023-24) in this section. Stay tuned for more to come!!

Please remember to read the newsletter all the way to the bottom as we have another great Alumni Spotlight this month!!

See you soon!

College Week is here! This is a special time for our scholars to celebrate their future aspirations and explore the exciting possibilities that higher education has to offer. Throughout the week, scholars will engage in various themed activities designed to showcase their school spirit while learning about college and career opportunities. From dress-up days to informative sessions, we're building excitement about what comes after high school and encouraging our scholars to dream big! Let's make this week fun, educational, and inspiring!
