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]

Academics

Students at Bartlett Yancey High School have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement coursework and exams. The school also offers an associate's pathway in which students can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree from Piedmont Community College within four years.[8]

Athletics

Currently, sports teams at Bartlett Yancey High School compete in the Mid-Carolina 1A/2A Conference.[9]

In the 2019 football season, the eighth-seeded Buccaneers finished second in the Mid-State 2A and set a school record for wins in a season.[10]

In addition to football, BYHS has sports programs in wrestling, track and field, cross country, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and basketball.[11]

Facility improvement project

In June 2020, Bartlett Yancey High School began undergoing renovations as well as the demolition of segments of the existing school. A new two-story building was constructed, which included classrooms, science labs, a media center, a kitchen and dining area, a security station, and administrative and guidance offices. Infrastructure improvements were also made throughout the campus. The project's total cost was $35.1 million dollars and was completed in 2022.[12][13]
