[edit] History
T. H. Rogers was originally a regular middle school that served Uptown area residents. In the 1980s T. H. Rogers was converted into a magnet school due to low enrollment. Uptown residents were rezoned to Revere Middle School, but complaints that stated that Revere was too far resulted in the re-opening of Grady as a middle school.
As of 2006, no residents are zoned to T. H. Rogers.

[edit] After T. H. Rogers
T. H. Rogers does not have a zoning boundary, as it serves students from all over Houston ISD.
The deaf program only serves up to the eighth grade at T.H. Rogers and the deaf program is continued for grades 9 through 12 at Barbara Jordan High School in Houston. The Vanguard students go to a variety of high schools; most Vanguard T. H. Rogers pupils go on to Bellaire's Bellaire High School[citation needed]. Some apply to Carnegie Vanguard High School, DeBakey High School, High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Lamar High School, and Westside High School. Last year's High School Graduating class saw T. H. Rogers' graduates going to such colleges as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, the University of Chicago, Brown and Rice among other of the world's top universities. Multiply-impaired students stay at T. H. Rogers for their entire K-12 careers.
