History

The Berkshire Local School District was formed in 1967, with the consolidation of several smaller school districts in the areas of Burton, Claridon, and Troy. Berkshire High School was built in 1936, and Burton Elementary in 1959.

In 2015, following the closure of Ledgemont High School, the former high school underwent a territory transfer with the school district starting the 2015-16 school year[2]

In 2022, the Berkshire School District has built its new campus on Claridon Troy Rd to house its all of its PK-12 students.[3] The old high school building was sold in 2024, with it later becoming a film studio known as Schoolyard Studio[4]
