When Johnston moved to Meyerland in September 1959, Miller Junior High School opened in Johnston's former location.〔"(About Johnston )." ''Johnston Middle School''.

It was a pilot project of the Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA). It originally used two rooms at Miller before several temporary buildings were moved to the school. The CLC high school stayed in the temporary buildings until 1976. When the high school vacated the temporary buildings, the CLC middle school moved into the temporary buildings. In 1980 the middle school moved to the third floor.〔"(About CLC )." Contemporary Learning Center.

Retrieved on December 8, 2011.〕 During its final year of operation, about 400 students attended CLC. In March 2011, the HISD board granted the district approval to move CLC to a new building, from the old location. The school qualified for a grant intended to transform schools having problems, because CLC on repeated occasions did not meet federal academic standards. CLC was converted into the DeVry Advantage Academy. Few students from CLC transferred to DeVry. Tracey Lewis, the principal of the DeVry school, said that the new location may have discouraged some of the earlier CLC students. Terry Grier, the HISD superintendent, agreed with Lewis's hypothesis.〔 In the northern hemisphere fall of that year, the Young Women's College Preparatory Academy opened on the previous CLC site.〔"(Young Women's College Preparatory Academy )."
