SNGC, which served the ninth graders zoned to Pearland High School, was located in the north campus of the High School, and was part of the Pearland Independent School District.

In  early 2009, the district's board of trustees approved the conversion of the PHS north campus into the Sheryl Searcy Ninth Grade Center. Beginning in fall 2009, the campus began to house freshmen zoned to PHS. In April 2012, the district's board made the decision to merge SNGC back with Pearland High School effectively ending the ninth grade campus concept in PISD. When school began in August 2013, Pearland High School housed ninth through twelfth grades.
