The [[Berkeley School District (Missouri)|Berkeley School District]] opened in 1937 after a dispute over where a school for [[African American|black people]] should be located, with the black residents of southern [[Kinloch, Missouri|Kinloch]] and the white residents of northern Kinloch opposing each other. The newly formed school district, mostly [[white people|white]], took over Kinloch High School, which had opened during that year; previously a part of the [[Kinloch School District]], the high school was renamed [[Berkeley High School (Berkeley, Missouri)|Berkeley High School]]. The high school, located in what is now Berkeley, was exclusively for white students. At a later point a new Berkeley High School campus opened in a new location, and the former Berkeley High School became Berkeley Middle School. On June 7, 1975, a U.S. district court ordered the Ferguson-Florissant School District to annex the Berkeley School District and the [[Kinloch School District]]; therefore the Ferguson-Florissant district began to serve Berkeley. In December 2003 the former Berkeley High School closed due to expansion of [[Lambert-St. Louis Airport]]. In January 2004 McCluer South-Berkeley High School opened.<ref>Bosenbecker, Ray.
