In 1998 the school moved to a new location at 3100 Cleburne Street in conjunction with Texas Southern University: the new home was the School of Technology Building.[3] After the Cleburne Street campus developed structural problems, the school later moved to the second floor of the campus of Thomas Middle School at 5655 Selinsky Street.[1][4][5]

In fall 2006 the school closed. Some portions of the school were incorporated into Wheatley High School.[6]
