Berkshire Hills Regional School District

What Berkshire Hills Regional School District does

Berkshire Hills Regional School District (BHRSD) is a public K-12 regional school district organized under Massachusetts state law, serving approximately 1,131 enrolled students across three towns in Berkshire County — Great Barrington, Stockbridge, and West Stockbridge. Founded in 1898 and headquartered in Stockbridge, the district operates three schools: Muddy Brook Regional Elementary School (pre-K through grade 4), W.E.B. Du Bois Regional Middle School (grades 5-8 in Great Barrington), and Monument Mountain Regional High School (grades 9-12). It is governed by an elected School Committee composed of representatives from each member town and administered by Superintendent Dr. Peter Dillon. The district reports a 94% average graduation rate, offers 28 student clubs and athletics, and runs a CLEO (Community Learning & Enrichment Opportunities) out-of-school-time program alongside core academics, English Learner instruction, and Special Education services (TLC and ABC programs).

The district's technology platform centers on a 1:1 Chromebook-to-student ratio, with PowerSchool as the Student Information System, ParentSquare as the school-home communication layer (email, text, app notifications, with automatic PowerSchool-driven account provisioning), and Clever as the single sign-on hub for educational applications (district ID 5ea9a3e2ee9e8a00015e7e5c). Connected learning tools include IXL Learning, IL Illustrative Math, IL MyPath, Star 360, Canvas Parents (LMS), Sora/OverDrive for digital reading, Follett Destiny for library catalog, and research databases (Gale, Britannica, Infobase). The website is maintained to WCAG 2.0-2.1 A/AA conformance under Section 504 and Title II of the ADA.

BHRSD is a non-commercial, government state entity — it does not sell a product or service. Funding flows from local property taxes, Massachusetts Chapter 70 state aid, federal grants (Title I, II, IV), and federal/state meal programs. Meals (breakfast and lunch) are provided free of charge to all enrolled students. Transportation is delivered through a contract with Massini Bus Company. Supplementary community capital is channeled through the Berkshire Hills Fund for Excellence, an endowed fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation established in 2002 with a ~$350,000 endowment that has awarded approximately $225,000 across nearly 170 educator grants over 23 years, plus more than $700,000 in cumulative scholarship funding to graduating seniors.
