Thomas Horace Rogers School is an alternative primary and secondary public school and part of the Houston Independent School District. The school is at 5840 San Felipe in Houston, Texas, United States, outside of the 610 Loop and inside Beltway 8, west of Uptown Houston.
T. H. Rogers serves gifted and talented students in the Vanguard program from kindergarten through eighth grade, deaf students from pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade, and multiply impaired students from age 3 through 12th grade.
Opened in 1962, T. H. Rogers was originally a regular middle school that served Uptown area residents. The school was named after Thomas Horace "T. H." Rogers, who served as the principal of San Jacinto High School. Rogers died on Valentine's Day, 1954, when police officers, intending to shoot a burglar, instead shot Rogers by mistake. After 1979 T. H. Rogers was no longer a junior high. In 1980 T. H. Rogers was converted into a magnet school. Uptown residents were rezoned to Revere Middle School, but complaints from neighborhood parents that Revere was too far resulted in the re-opening of Grady Elementary School as a middle school in 1992.
In 2009 several teachers advocated for the firing of principal Dr. Cathryn White.
T. H. Rogers was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1991-92. and 2004
In 2005, the fifth grade Odyssey of the Mind (OM) team competed internationally, after winning 4th place in Region and 1st place in Texas. In the World Finals, they took 18th place in their division of 60 teams under the leadership of Linda Hester and Raj Mutha.
