About this property

Caswell County Training School, later renamed Caswell County High School, is a historic school building and former segregated Black public school located in Yanceyville, North Carolina. Founded in 1906 when African American residents of Caswell County purchased property to establish a school, it became part of the county's public education system. Rebuilt as a Rosenwald School in 1924, it achieved state accreditation as a high school in 1934. The Rosenwald building was later replaced by a new campus constructed in phases (1949, 1951, and 1960), which closed in 1969 during desegregation. The school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 2018, for its significance in African American heritage, education, and architecture. Before it was renamed Caswell County Training School in 1934, the institution was known as the Stephens School, Yanceyville School No. 38, and Yanceyville Colored School.
