T. Wingate Andrews High School is a public magnet high school in High Point, North Carolina, and part of the Western region of the Guilford County school district. Andrews has been designated to receive additional support, resources, and incentives as a federal Title I school.[2]

T. Wingate Andrews High School was opened in 1968 with Samuel E. Burford as its first principal. This school was built specifically to follow the federal mandate to integrate the races in the United States, and Burford's selection was notable as he was African American. Students were drawn from the black high school, former William Penn High School (now Penn-Griffin School for the Arts) and from the white high school, High Point Central High School. It was named after Thomas Wingate Andrews (1882–1937), who served as superintendent of High Point schools.[3]

The current principal is Darrell Baker, formerly the assistant principal of the school. Baker took the position beginning in the 2023–2024 school year.
