YARBROUGH

Yarbrough School started in the fall of 1950 with the consolidation of three complete grade school districts and parts of other grade school and high school districts. The three grade school districts were: Whitehall, Sandy Hook, and Cosmos. At this time there was a deadline on consolidation of schools and county superintendent, Theo Yarbrough, who was born and raised in the present Yarbrough school district, was instrumental in helping get the paperwork submitted in time to meet the deadline. There was much discussion about the school's location. Finally, Mr. Emery Addington agreed to sell the land, where the present school is located, to the district. Our rural location, small class size, and fantastic personnel offer our students an excellent opportunity for a superb educational experience. Yarbrough is poised to offer its students a great learning environment well into the 21st century.
