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.
