Message From Executive Director Stephen Novotny
Executive Director Stephen Novotny welcomed guests and spoke to them about how Cypress Christian School was created for a great purpose - to powerfully train, educate, discipline, strengthen and hone the skills of the next generation of Christian warriors.

Dean of Students / Head Boys Basketball Coach Craig Cleveland
Coach Cleveland addressed guests saying: "As a teacher and coach, having the opportunity to plant seeds educationally and spiritually in the lives of students has impacted my life immeasurably. Often we plant seeds, but don't get the opportunity to see the fruit, but I have been fortunate to see students grow and mature into godly young men and women who are on fire for Christ and now, through their gifts and talents, are advancing the Kingdom."
Alumni Parent / Former Teacher Michele Bennett
Michele expressed her thanks for the many teachers who poured into her children's lives and elaborated on her son's experience at CCS. Michele said, "Over the years, Ben's teachers helped mold him into an excellent student. They encouraged diligence and creativity and provided challenges that prepared him to be a man that impacts his culture technically as an engineer (Texas A&M graduate) and spiritually as a man who follows God's heart."
