[edit] History

Bethel High School was established in 1939; additions to its main building were made over the next few years. In 1970 a new High School was built in the Bethel Educational Park (now David W. Deakin Educational Park).

[edit] Campus

Bethel High School occupies 64 acres, with views of Berkshires in the distance. The main school building contains approximately 50 classrooms, a computer lab, the library and a theater. Other rooms include industrial technology areas, art and photography rooms, and the cafeteria. The campus also contains a large gymnasium with a weight room, a tennis court, a track, and athletic field. A Renovation [1] for the school has been delayed for several years, due to budget cuts, and other delays (most notably no one coming to vote). The start date for the renovation is currently unknown for the time being, but the widely accepted date is "never".
