Bartlett High School is a public school in Bartlett, Tennessee, a suburb northeast of Memphis. The school has existed at its current location since 1917, but previously under the name Nicholas Blackwell High School. Six decades later, the facility that sits on this 21-acre site was torn down and rebuilt in 1977. Since then, it has undergone a series of renovations up until 2002, and in 2018, a $60 million-dollar major renovation project. This new facility includes redesigned indoor and outdoor spaces, including courtyards and outdoor lunch areas. Bartlett High School is part of the Bartlett City Schools system and is the home of the Panthers. Approximately 3,000 students in Grades 9 through 12 are enrolled. Bartlett High is “dedicated to the highest level of teaching and learning where students develop and achieve success in being college and career ready as they actively engage in real life scenarios and opportunities for secondary and post-secondary pursuits.” Bartlett High offers honors classes, advanced placement and technical courses. Select students can take part in dual enrollment in partnership with the University of Memphis. In addition to receiving a quality academic education, students are offered several extracurricular activities.

The best parts of my experience with Bartlett High School have been the opportunities that have arisen for myself and other students. Students take plenty of initiative to enact change, but I've found that there is far too much restriction in what is possible.

Bartlett is a mix of bad and good. All the academics and sports are great. However, there's a problem when it comes to teachers and administration. Some have horrible attitudes and superiority complexes.

After recent renovations to the 10-12 grade campus, the school is very modern and clean. There are many sports and clubs students can be a part of, including the band program, which has become very successful over the past few years.
