Clubs at Cypress Creek

Cypress Creek High School offers a wide variety of clubs and student groups that give Coyotes the chance to explore interests, build leadership skills, and get involved on campus. Students can choose from district‑sponsored clubs—such as National Honor Society, Key Club, Student Government, Mu Alpha Theta, HOSA, FBLA, and multiple honor societies—as well as non‑district student groups, including Art Club, Coding Club, Gardening Club, Book Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Dungeoneer’s Den, and more… Whether students want to serve the community, compete academically, express creativity, build career‑ready skills, or connect with peers who share similar passions, there is a place for everyone to get involved and grow.

District Sponsored vs. Non-District Sponsored Clubs

District sponsored clubs are those clubs that are authorized school organizations for groups, clubs, and organizations that are educational in nature, and which otherwise meet the conditions set forth in School Board Policy 5840. Included in this group is student government and class sponsor clubs (e.g. Class of 2025) and pure service clubs.

Non-District Student Groups are student groups, clubs and organizations, which are non-district sponsored and non-authorized school organizations that are not directly related to education, but which are related to matters that are social, political, ideological or otherwise related to personal interest, and which otherwise meet the conditions set forth in School Board policy 5730.
