1995 Tornado
Two students and one staff member were killed in the 1995 Great Barrington tornado when their van was picked up by the tornado and thrown 1,000 feet into a wooded ditch at the base of Mount Butternut. Reports say that the occupants were not strapped in and that no redirection was given for the students to put on their seat belts. Subsequently, the victim's families sued the school but charges were later dropped. A chapel was built onsite to honor those who died.
