Welcome
Thank you for checking out the military resource page on Berryhill's website.  If you are new to the area or to Berryhill, we want to welcome you.  Our goal is to provide you with the best transition possible and to welcome your family into the Berryhill Bear Family. You will find several resources below that may be of use to you as a military-connected family and you can download each document.

Additionally, our Military & Family Life Counselor is available Monday through Friday to discuss any concerns or needs you have as a military-connected family and may be reached by calling the school.

Mental Health Services
We understand that changes and challenges are a part of life and can be increasingly harder for military families. At Berryhill, we want you to know that we are her to help you in any way we can. Feel free to give us a call or email for any assistance.
