Andrews High School or AHS is a public high school based in Andrews, Texas, United States and classified as a 4A school by the University Interscholastic League (UIL). It is a part of the Andrews Independent School District which serves all of Andrews County.[2]

History[edit]

In recent years, a new multi-use sports facility has been added which includes a swimming pool with a separate diving well, a basketball stadium, and a new performance center. AHS is further recognized to be an achieving academic school, with a variety of State Awards in UIL Accounting, Computer Applications, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, CX Debate, Computer Science, and UIL One Act Play. For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given a B by the Texas Education Agency.[3]

The school has an official National Forensics Association Charter, is an active National Speech and Debate school, and has regularly been noted in its state-ranking football team. The school also hosts an Aviation Academy which is a four year program split between the high school and Guilford Technical Community College.[4] A similar program is also in place to fast track a career in education with little or no debt. After graduation the students are committed to being a teacher at the school for at least three years.[5]

In 2021, the high school playoff game between Andrews and Springtown was postponed after the Andrews High School marching band was involved in a crash where three people died. The school's band director and the bus driver, a retired math teacher were both killed, along with the driver of the pickup that was going the wrong way before striking the bus.[6][7]
