Langham creek high school shakes it off for school spirit
Langham Creek High School is a high school located near Cypress, which is an unincorporated community in Harris County, Texas, near Houston. Langham Creek, which was established in 1984, is part of the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District. Several communities, including Concord Bridge, Northglen, Copper Lakes, and parts of the Copperfield subdivision, are zoned to the school. Langham Creek was the fourth senior high school in the growing school district. At the time it was the largest two-story building in the state of Texas. In order to accommodate students by not transferring seniors and even juniors, the first year of Langham Creek was actually held in what is currently Labay middle school. It housed a freshman and sophomore class, as well as an eighth grade class and was considered Langham Creek Interim High School. Since the eighth grade class was not technically a high school class, all eighth grade class rooms and activities were separated from the other classes. This was during the 1984 - 1985 school year while the current building was being completed. The following year, the doors were opened to the brand new building with three classes, freshmen, sophomores and juniors. There was not a senior class in the first year of the building being opened, the first seniors to graduate from Langham Creek was the class of 1987.

The mascot is the "lobo", Spanish for "wolf", and the school's motto is "The Power of the Pack is the Lobo. The Power of the Lobo is the Pack." The "lobo" mascot may have been selected as an homage to the red wolves that were hunted for bounty in the area during the 1950s and 1960s. Carcasses of the wolves were strung along the fences at the nearby intersection of FM 529 and State Highway 6, which became known as Wolf Corner.
Langham Creek was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1990-91.
