Bartlett Yancey High School (BYHS) is a public high school located in Yanceyville, North Carolina, serving students in the ninth through twelfth grades. It is in the Caswell County Schools school district. [2]
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]
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]
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]
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]
