Michelle Schiffer, a 23-year-old former high school history teacher, has been arrested after she allegedly had sex with a former male teenage student.
Schiffer, 23, was charged with improper relationship with a student and sexual assault of a child. Authorities say Schiffer met with the 15-year-old boy in the parking lot of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Cypress, Texas back in July of 2017. She then took the student Schiffer to her friend’s apartment in in the 7200 block of Barker Cypress where they had sex.
Court records indicate that authorities were tipped off the to the relationship after an anonymous student reported the situation to the Cypress-Springs High School principal. The anonymous student told Cheryl Henry, the principal at the school, that the victim was a former student of Schiffer’s and that he admitted to having a sexual relationship with the teacher.

Schiffer also admitted that she’d had sexual contact with the student and smoked marijuana with him in her vehicle, according to the documents. The student was 15 years old at the time of the alleged incidents, records state.
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD released this statement: “When the alleged actions of the staff member were learned, she was immediately removed from campus and placed on administrative leave. We will continue to protect our students and not tolerate relationships of an inappropriate nature.”
