History

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.

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. 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.

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.
