Berkshire High School is a public high school in Burton, Ohio that serves Burton Township, Ohio; Thompson Township, Geauga County, Ohio; Montville Township, Geauga County, Ohio; Claridon Township, Geauga County, Ohio; and Troy Township, Geauga County, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Berkshire School District and its mascot is the Badger.

Prior to consolidation, the school was known as Burton High School and its mascot was the Maple Leaf. The Bershire 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.
