History
In 1972, Jersey Village High opened its doors to high school students in the area, becoming the second currently standing high school in the Cypress Fairbanks School District, coming after Cy-Fair High School.
To protect teachers, students, and staff from COVID-19, in early 2020, students of Jersey Village High School, as well as the rest of the schools in the district, were moved from a traditional on-campus learning environment and into a remote and online learning program. At the start of the 2020–2021 school year, the district decided to have students and teachers return to campus, a decision which was protested by many teachers in the district, including many at Jersey Village High.
In October 2021, Jersey Village High School's band was one of four bands selected to advance from the UIL Area I Marching Band Contest.
