Cypress Creek High School is located in Orlando, Florida, and serves students in grades 9 through 12.
Cypress Creek is an IB World School with an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.[1] As an IB World School, CCHS is a local magnet school allowing students from other Orange County, Florida schools to attend.[2]
Cypress Creek High School receives graduating students from Meadow Woods Middle School, South Creek Middle School and Walker Middle School. However, it is a magnet school, so students from surrounding middle schools (e.g. Hunters Creek Middle School, Freedom Middle School, Westridge Middle School, Lake Nona Middle School, Southwest Middle School) also attend Cypress Creek albeit in smaller numbers.
Band
The Cypress Creek Band has developed a proud tradition of excellence since the school opened on August 24, 1992. The Cypress Creek High School Band Program is dedicated to providing educational and artistic opportunities for its students in the performing arts. All educational activities will take place in a professional atmosphere, which promotes social and artistic development of students through creative and innovative programs, each based upon high quality instruction and leadership. In addition, it is our belief that “the process is just as important as the product.” This places the emphasis on the development and growth of each individual student, not on specific performances or placements.
