Wiley H. Bates High School was a historic black school building in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was completed in 1932, and replaced the original Annapolis Colored High School. The school building was named after Wiley H. Bates, a prominent African-American businessman and community leader whose financial donations enabled the school to be built. The name of the school lives on in Wiley H. Bates Middle School, while the original building has been turned into a retirement home combined community center.
