History

The high school is named after U.S. Congressman Bartlett Yancey, Jr. and was founded in 1923. [3] [4] Grades 9–11 were held at the then Bartlett Yancey School. These grades were later moved to a newly constructed high school building in the mid-1930s. It is unknown when a 12th grade class was first added. [4]

Bartlett Yancey High School became the only public high school operating in the county when Caswell County High School closed in 1969 due to school integration and consolidation. [5] [6] It is presently the only high school in the Caswell County school system. [7]
