Yale High School ended in 1961, in a reorganization that created Yale-Jamaica-Bagley. In 1961, those three schools graduated nine, 16, and seven seniors, respectively (Guthrian, May 16, 1961). Yale got the youngest elementary students. The schools in both Yale and Bagley closed when YJB started sharing with Panora-Linden to form Panorama in 1989.
