Both Cypress Ranch and Cypress Lakes High School were designed by PBK Architects, Inc. with modifications to existing plans used in the construction of Cypress Ridge High School, Cypress Woods High School, and Cypress Springs High School.

According to the video's YouTube page, the entire project was created by Cypress Ranch students.[3] More than 1,000 students participated in the project.[4] The video was parodied in the Comedy Central animated series, South Park, in the 2012 episode, Butterballs.[5]
