Clarke County High School is a public high school in Berryville, Virginia. CCHS was ranked 19th[2] on Newsweek's Top 1200 High Schools list in 2006. This used a metric based on the amount of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests taken by all the students in 2005 divided by the amount of graduating seniors. Its courses cover a wide spectrum of advanced levels including the International Baccalaureate program; dual-enrollment courses with Laurel Ridge Community College and AP courses. Additionally, vocational and technical training courses have been expanded: in addition to Future Farmers of America (FFA) and DECA courses, students may choose from a variety of career and trade fields - including nursing, basic construction, CAD and computer courses, and horticulture.

The school was originally opened in 1920. In 1954, the school moved to 200 Swan Avenue, in the building that today houses Johnson-Williams Middle School. In 1987, CCHS moved again, to 240 Westwood Road. The current high school, at 627 Mosby Boulevard, opened in 2012. Situated on over 50 acres of land, it was built to accommodate future growth, with a planned capacity of over 800 students. It features 22 general classrooms as well as 6 science labs, 2 business labs, 5 technology labs, and a large agricultural lab. In addition, the current building houses a state-of-the-art auditorium, and a gymnasium with a college regulation size basketball court and team support spaces. Following extensive renovations, the former high school building was reopened in 2014 to serve as an elementary school.

The faculty consists of over 50 highly qualified teachers and coaches. The day is split into an eight block a day schedule. It is the only public high school in Clarke County, VA.

In addition to a strong academic curriculum, the school offers many opportunities for students to participate in strong extra-curricular activities.
