Berkley Schools is an Exceptional Place to Work

The Berkley School District has a culture steeped in a tradition of excellence in academics, the fine arts, and athletics. Berkley High School was named by Newsweek as one of America’s Best and Most Challenging High Schools, Berkley School District was named among the Top 25 School Districts in Michigan by Niche, and for the past ten years named one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation. These accolades come as a result of students who come to school ready to learn, strong parent and community participation and support, and outstanding employees, administrators, and a Board of Education who are committed to providing an environment conducive to all aspects of learning. In the Berkley School District, all are welcome.

The Berkley School District offers a competitive professional salary schedule in comparison to other school districts in Oakland County. Our generous insurance package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage with significant district contributions for full time employees. Employees are also enrolled in a pension plan through the State of Michigan Office of Retirement Services.

A family-friendly, multicultural community truly supports our schools as evidenced by high levels of engagement and participation in school and district level activities.

Berkley School District values continuous learning and growth. We offer development professional learning ranging from a district-wide orientation, and individualized feedback, development, and coaching, to job-embedded workshops throughout the year.
