Principal's Corner
Mr. Lance Stokes
It is indeed an honor and privilege to be Principal of Bartlett Yancey Senior High. It is great to come “Home” and serve the community that formed my core values and taught me how education, determination, and work ethic could provide me with access to so many opportunities in life. I believe that the entire community has a responsibility to ensure our students are successful and graduate career, college, and life ready.
As an educator, I have over twenty years of experience. I began my career as an elementary teacher, with numerous years of experience as a school administrator, serving as an assistant principal for six years prior to serving as a principal. I have served as a principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels in Guilford County Schools. I’ve earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from North Carolina A&T State University, a Master of School Administration, and an Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
My wife Fredricca and I have been married for over 20 years, and we have two wonderful children: Lauryn and Cameron. In my spare time, some of my hobbies include learning new things, reading, traveling, and playing the piano. Together, we will continue the GREAT things happening for our entire school community.
