[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.
T. H. Rogers was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1991-92 [2] and 2004 [3].
In fall 2007 two members of the T. H. Rogers Chess Team entered the international championships in Antalya, Turkey [4].

[edit] After T. H. Rogers
T. H. Rogers does not have a zoning boundary, as it serves students from all over Houston ISD.

The Vanguard students go to a variety of high schools; many Vanguard T. H. Rogers pupils go on to Bellaire's Bellaire High School [7].
Multiply-impaired students stay at T. H. Rogers for their entire K-12 careers.
