H. Jake Eberwein III

School’s never out for this veteran Berkshire County educator, who’s served as teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, and MCLA’s dean of Graduate and Continuing Education. Currently, Jake Eberwein is project director for BERK12 (center for research, collaborative programming, and professional development), on Central Berkshire Regional School Committee, and project manager for the eight-Town Regional School District Planning Board. “Jake’s dedication to the children of the Berkshires and leadership to develop collaborative solutions makes him one of—if not the—most influential educators in Berkshire County today,” says William Ballen, former superintendent for Lanesborough, Richmond, Hancock, and New Ashford.
