How We Got Our Name
LaFaye Johnson Lee was chosen as the namesake for Elementary #41. Lee spent all 35 of her years as an educator with Cypress-Fairbanks ISD before retiring in June 2003. Lee taught English at Carverdale High School, Dean Middle School, Cy-Fair High School and Jersey Village High School during her first 12 years and then served as a counselor at Arnold Middle School and Jersey Village for the next 17 years. She was named to a district-level position, serving as coordinator of academic achievement for five years before being named a director in 2002. Lee continues to work part-time for the district. She and her late husband, John, have three children— John Jr., Christie and Courtney, who are all graduates of Jersey Village High School.
