Wahconah Regional High
Central Berkshire Regional School District serves several small towns in the heart of the Berkshires, including Dalton, Cummington, Windsor, and Washington. This rural region of western Massachusetts is known for its scenic mountain landscapes, outdoor recreation, and historic mill towns that once thrived on paper and textile manufacturing. Dalton, the district's largest community, was home to the Crane & Co. paper mill, which has produced U.S. currency paper since 1879.
