Booker T. Washington High School, also known as Booker T, BTW, or the Academy Of Visual and Performing Arts, is a public high school located in Norfolk, Virginia.

Booker T. Washington High School was named in honor of Booker T. Washington who was an African-American educator, author, orator, and adviser to presidents of the United States.

For each of the next three years, a grade was added culminating in the State Board of Educations approval.

Thus Washington became Virginia first accredited public high school for African-Americans.
