Berlin High School is a public high school located in Berlin, Connecticut. The current high school building on Patterson Way was opened in 1953. As of 2007 it serves grades 9-12. Current enrollment is about 1000 students.
An addition was added to the high school in 1959, which included science labs and other rooms. It also underwent technology and handicap code upgrades that were completed in 2000. An additional round of code renovations is forthcoming, in response to areas of concern identified by a recent visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
