What is CRABC? CRABC stands for Cy-Ridge Athletic Booster Club. It is a booster club created to support ALL athletes. Our goal is the betterment of ALL athletic departments along with providing two scholarships to our athletes. Each sport incurs costs for their equipment, repairs, banquets, tournament entry fees, and much more. In addition to these costs, we have maintenance on equipment, new equipment needs, training equipment and changing technology needs. We strive each year to help cover as much of those costs as possible.

BETWEEN THE HORNS RAM Nation | August 2017
Coach’s Corner—Special Edition Greetings Ram Family, The Cypress Ridge community and staff were shaken at the news of the passing of past principal, Claudio Garcia on July 5, 2017. Mr. Garcia opened Cypress Ridge High School as the first principal in August 2002. He hired a staff with the sole purpose of serving the youth of the Cypress Ridge community. He wanted the staff at Cypress Ridge to be kid centered and willing to work with all kids so they could be successful in high school and have a chance to go to college or into the work force upon graduation. Mr. Garcia had a simple philosophy when it came to getting the success for his students and staff. He called it his three A's; The first (A) was attendance. For the kids to learn and be successful, they had to come to school everyday. The second (A) in Mr. Garcia's plan was attitude. He wanted to teach the kids that with the proper attitude they could accomplish anything. The third (A) was achievement. He believed every student could achieve and he worked everyday showing them how to do it. Mr. Garcia was very respected by all that had the opportunity to work with him. The governor of the state of Texas declared December 11 2013 as Claudio Garcia day honoring his four decades of service to education. Mr. Garcia will be missed at Cypress Ridge High School, but because of his efforts Cypress Ridge will keep moving forwards and achieving great things in his honor.
