Prior to consolidation, the school was known as Burton High School and its mascot was the Maple Leaf. The Berkshire School District opened the current K-12 campus in the fall of 2022. Unlike most high schools, the Berkshire School campus consists of all grades from pre K to 12 and is located adjacent to Kent State University-Geauga Campus. The previous location of Berkshire High School has been sold and is the former residence of Seabury Ford, governor of Ohio.

Berkshire High School as of 2015 now includes students from Ledgemont High School, as Ledgemont's school district was absorbed by Berkshire [3] [4] and the elementary closed with the opening of the new Berkshire Local Schools Pre-K through 12 campus. [5]
