Sheryl Searcy Ninth Grade Center was a state-operated secondary school in Pearland, Texas, United States.

SNGC, which served the ninth graders zoned to Pearland High School, was part of the Pearland Independent School District.

SNGC took over the north campus of Pearland High School. It served only the incoming 9th graders zoned to Pearland High School.

Sheryl Searcy, who taught English at PHS, died in 2006 after almost two decades with the district. SNGC's mascot was the oiler rig, sharing it with Pearland High School. The school colors were white, black, and maroon. The school motto was: Where Ninth Comes First.

History

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.
