I am very proud of the accomplishments of Cyfair High School and the Principals and Teachers who work with our children. I have been at the school many times and find the young people are well behaved for such a large school. It is great to see the pride the students take in their school and the attention teachers give to them. If we had more schools like CyFair High School, we would see more productive citizens.
