Jersey Village High School is located in Jersey Village, Texas, United States. The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Ralph Funk serves as its principal.

Jersey Village High School serves the city of Jersey Village, small sections of Houston, and unincorporated sections of Harris County. A portion of the Near Northwest district is served by the school.[1]

The school mascot is the Falcon, which is similar to the original Atlanta Falcons logo, and the colors are purple and gold. Students from Jersey Village High School show their school pride and identify themselves to each other by flashing their left hand, palm outward, with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger erect so that the three fingers approximate the shape of "JV".

Jersey Village was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1999-2000.[2]

History

On May 21, 1998, a student brought a .38 caliber handgun in his backpack. The gun discharged when the student dropped the backpack, and the bullet hit a 15-year old female student in the leg.[3]

In 1998 the Jersey Village Football team was defeated by Duncanville High School (Dallas) and the Division 5A State Playoffs Semi-Finals. Jersey Village had previously beaten Plano High School, Bryan High School, and Klein High School in earlier rounds. In 1995 the team defeated Tyler John Tyler (the number one team in the state) before losing to Lake Highlands in later rounds.
