An Extraordinary School of UNIQUE PEOPLE A school may be thought of as a group of buildings, but Bartlett Yancey was really a group of people who worked together to create an atmosphere of learning. As in any large group, dif- ferent ideas concerning how to do this were often debated. While the administration tried to provide an ordered atmosphere for learning, the over 1200 people, who were in- volved in the enterprise, often had other ideas of the best way to ac- complish the goals. This give and take produced a dynamic that helped create a school with a unique per- sonality. It was the wide variety of people at B.Y. that made it such an individual school. In 1986-87 Bart- lett Yancey tried to reflect the per- sonalities and ideas of its faculty and student body and, by doing so, main- tain a school which took pride in the fact that it was outside the existing order in secondary education.
