Maynard Evans High School is a high school located in Orlando, Florida, United States, served by Orange County Public Schools. The school's name is often shortened to "Evans High School" or "E-HIGH", and the mascot for the school are the Trojans.

It primarily serves students from Pine Hills, in addition to some students from nearby Clarcona and Lockhart. The original main campus is located on Silver Star Road at the intersection of Pine Hills Road. Starting in 2010, the entire school was demolished and completely rebuilt; with construction completed in December 2011. The new campus reopened in 2012.[2]

Evans High's academic performance, based upon results of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), was consistently rated at a "D" or "F".[3] However, the school improved in 2011 by earning a "C" for the first time in the school's history.

As of the 2012-2013 school year, Evans received its first "B" in the school's history.

The 9th Grade Center served as the main campus during construction, and the new campus was opened for classes on January 3, 2012.
