We made it!

Español

Today marks the conclusion of an eventful and successful 2020-2021 school year. I can think of no better representation of what has been accomplished this year than the celebration of our Class of 2021 graduates. After tomorrow, we will have had more than 9,000 graduating seniors walk the stage at the Berry Center and Cy-Fair FCU Stadium—their joyous reactions tell the story!

I want to thank all of our parents and community members for being supportive as we navigated through the frequently changing environment of a worldwide pandemic. All of the efforts of our teachers and staff, coupled with your support, paid off as students were able to enjoy a sense of normalcy throughout the school year. Whether it was academics, fine arts or other activities, I consistently noticed the beaming smiles from our learners as they got back to doing what they loved.

In my April letter, I highlighted many of the student achievements from the school year, and we’re still not done yet! This weekend, the Jersey Village High School baseball team will battle Strake Jesuit in the regional championship. Let’s cheer on the Falcons as they compete for a trip to state!

Despite many twists and turns, it has been a great 2020-2021. Next year, we expect school to be even closer to the “normal” we remember. In the meantime, enjoy a safe and restful summer break. I’ll see you back next fall!

Thanks for a great year

Thank you for everything you have done to make the 2015-2016 school year a success. We faced a few challenges throughout the year, but as always, the positive experiences outweighed the negative.

And there are still more great things to come before 2015-2016 is over:

We began the first of 12 graduation ceremonies last week at the Carlton Center, and will kick off 11 straight at the Berry Center tonight with Windfern High School, wrapping up with Cypress Ranch on Saturday at 8 p.m. You can find Class of 2016 graduation information, including parking maps, live streaming links and more, by accessing the Graduation block on our website homepage.

Remember that Barker Cypress Road will be heavily congested when planning for travel. A “no bag” line will also be available at entrances 2 and 3 of the Berry Center for visitors who wish to accelerate their entry into the facility.

This summer will bring an exciting new chapter to CFISD, as we open our 11^th comprehensive high school, Cypress Park High School, in August.

We are growing bigger every year, and opening state-of-the-art facilities to serve all students. I am proud to be part of a community where a high value is placed on public education, and I am glad to have you be a part of it.

Enjoy a restful and relaxing summer as we prepare for an even better 2016-2017 school year in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD!
