and NACAC. The school was built in 1917. It opened with 100 students and seven faculty members. The first Principal was Miss Dora Gholson. All Bartlett public schools separated from Shelby County Schools to form a municipal school system in 2014. Bartlett High School is the largest high school in Tennessee, with a combined 9-12 student body of about 2,777 (2020-21). Bartlett's school colors are red, white, and blue. Their athletic teams compete as the Panthers, or Lady Panthers. The school underwent a massive renovation in 2021. This consisted of building the 2,500 seat McDonald Insurance Arena, a new main lobby and auditorium, connecting all buildings internally (including the old Bartlett Elementary campus), renovating classrooms, admin spaces, STEM, vocational, and athletic spaces. The renovations moved the locations of the cafeteria and library, resulting in brand new ones. Students no longer have to go outside of the buildings to change classes, except for the enclosed courtyard area, thus improving security and student safety. The current Principals are Tim Jones (Main Campus) and Katie McCain (Ninth Grade Academy).
