Named after G.C. Scarborough, a deputy HISD superintendent in the early 1950's. Scarborough High School was opened on May 27, 1968. The school was built to relieve the congestion of Waltrip High School. It is located at 4141 Costa Rica, in Houston Texas, and is part of the Houston Independent School District.

The school was originally built as a Junior High, opening for the Spring Semester of 1968, became a Junior-Senior High in 1970, and finally transformed itself again as a High School when Clifton Middle School opened several years later. Even then, the school always seemed to be changing.

10 Scarborough High School students stood tall at the NASA Physics Challenge in Webster Texas recently, as at the end of a full day of experimentation, they received 5 of 8 awards given out.

Their day at NASA began with touring a few of the many facilities and programs, and machines that make up our nation's space program, as well as seeing the real-life  application of science.

Our students saw craft that once flew in space, mock-ups of the space shuttle flight deck, real working rocket motors, and (via simulation) were able to experience some of the details, operations, and white-knuckle excitement of a space shuttle landing.

Working with active-duty astronauts, engineers, and scientists, our students, designed, built, launched, and recovered ballistic projectiles (rockets without powered motors). Scarborough won first and second place in the competition with points awarded for amongst other things... bringing the payload home safely! Beyond the experience itself,  each member of the winning team received an IPod shuffle for their efforts which guarantees that the win is sure to be remember for some time.

With all of the changes that have been occurring at Scarborough over the last two years, we are very excited to see some of our students succeeding in such an amazing way! WAY TO GO SPARTANS!
