Simon G. Atkins Academic & Technology High School is a high school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It opened in the fall of 2005 as a technology magnet school.

Among the 28 classrooms, special labs and technology spaces were planned for hands-on learning in computer engineering, chemistry, biology, biotechnology research, physics, and physical science. An open cafeteria space features ample natural lighting and high ceilings with exposed structural components.
