Today

Today, Clarke County High School is located at 627 Mosby Blvd in Berryville and serves approximately 700 students in grades 9–12. The Clarke County High School faculty and staff goal is to encourage, inspire, and empower our students to reach their fullest potential both within the classroom and community. Our students are provided many opportunities that challenge them both academically and personally. This can be seen through the academic offerings that include the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program, Mountain Vista Governor’s School, and strong Career and Technical Education (CTE) offerings in agriculture, trades, medical health, and technical fields. In addition, students are able to participate in dual-enrolled coursework through Laurel Ridge Community College and Blue Ridge Community and Technical College, earning college credit while attending Clarke County High School. Students may also participate in the BRCTC JumpStart program, which provides specialized training and credentialing in high-demand fields such as welding, criminal justice, cybersecurity, mechatronics, and culinary arts. Our students build and balance their career and education opportunities and aspirations by participating in all of these offerings.  Paired with Clarke County High School's robust and growing internship programs with our community partners, students are prepared for strong and diverse post secondary opportunities.
