Quick answer: No
In order to have teaming/bonding on the server side and connecting both interfaces to different switches, you need a more advanced technology on the access as the Nexus Platform vPC feature.
vPC allows you to create bonding between interfaces located on a pair of switches.
On catalyst, you have the VSS feature. But nothing for your 2960.

Different server vendors have different features, often under the label of "teaming". Sometimes their features will allow connections to multiple physical different switches. If so, they might require both switches to be interconnected within the same L2 domain. Also, you might not get full advantage of the multiple link bandwidths. (For example, I recall one server "teaming" technology that allowed the server to transmit on multiple ports, but would only receive on one.)
In the Cisco world, often the best "teaming" interconnection, to obtain maximum benefit of multiple links, is some variation of Etherchannel, or on Nexus switches, vPC. These technologies, when dealing with different physical Cisco devices, require some "glue" technology, such as FlexStack, StackWise, VSS, vPC. The servers usually need to support something like LACP.
