Throughout my high school experience in Cy-Fair High School, I have to say it was a unique one for sure. I was a freshman during the pandemic, so I was online student for the majority of the year. As you may be aware, online was a disaster with uncooperative students to teachers that would forget there were kids online. The time I did go to school for about a week, I suddenly felt sick in my second period. I went to the nurse’s office where I started getting yelled at because I had a fever that I didn’t have until that moment in which I cried and decided to just stay home for the rest of the year. Overall, the teachers I had were very nice and were very helpful towards my education. It was worth every fuss at school.

Cy Fair is a great school once you look past the monthly fights and backed up hallways.
All my teachers have done an amazing job at teaching me what I know, but I would like to specifically mention the color guard director. She pulled together a group of 30-something kids my freshman year, and made us a family. I am sincerely grateful for all the hard work she’s put in and all the sacrifices she made for us (like when she moved from Indiana just to teach us).
I would also like to mention the Teaching and Training program. I’m only in my second year of it, and I’ve made everlasting friendships with both my peers and the teachers running it. I’ve truly found my calling to be an educator in the near future, and I hope I get to return to Cy Fair when I do begin my teaching journey.
Flaws and all, Cy Fair will forever hold a special place in my heart. I owe a lot to everyone who’s made me who I am today, and most of them came from, currently go to, or teach at Cy Fair.
