At age 27, Nicholas Longworth Dillard convinced the Caswell County School Board to recognize Caswell County Training School as the first high school for African Americans. From 1932 to 1969, he served as principal of CCTS and Caswell County High School. In 1935, North Carolina accredited one school in Caswell County, CCTS. In 1951, he assisted in designing the county's largest building, the new 3-story CCTS. From 1968 to 1969, he helped in the full desegregation of the county's public schools.
