McCray School is a historic one-room school building for African-American students located near Burlington, Alamance County, North Carolina, United States. It was built in 1915–1916, and is a one-story, two-bay, frame building. It has a tin gable-front roof and is sheathed in plain weatherboard. The school continued in operation until the consolidation of four rural Alamance County schoolhouses in 1951.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
