History

[edit]

The first school in Berne proper was a small two-story brick building, constructed in 1888 on the site of the current City Building. It was enlarged to six classrooms (with a Hall) in 1892, with further renovations in 1909 (making eight classrooms). Originally, the high school course lasted only two years. Later it was extended to three years and finally to four. The first Berne High School class graduated in 1901. This first school building remained in use until 1939, when the new second Berne High School building opened, in a different spot - on the grass lot across from the current Clocktower. This building was renamed "South Adams High School" after consolidation in 1966. Finally, due to the increased enrollment resulting from consolidation, in 1973 the current South Adams High School complex opened south of town. "South Adams" is a consolidation of four area high schools (and former rivals): Berne High School (1899–1966), Geneva High School (1894–1966), Hartford Township High School (1900–1963: "Linn Grove" until 1918), and Jefferson Township High School (1913–1956).[6][7][8][9]
