Charles McCann Vocational Technical
Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical serves students from several towns in the northernmost part of the Berkshires, a mountainous region in western Massachusetts known for its natural beauty and proximity to Vermont and New York. The area includes North Adams and surrounding communities, where historic mill towns have transformed over the decades, with North Adams now home to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), one of the largest centers for contemporary visual and performing arts in the country. The region's economy has evolved from its industrial roots to embrace tourism, arts, and outdoor recreation.
