As superintendent, Dr. Berman had the opportunity to work with architects to design new school buildings in Hudson, Eugene and Andover. Each endeavor was focused on building a strong sense of community among students and faculty. In particular, Hudson High School was designed to support student democratic governance and small communities within the larger high school. Once constructed, the school won awards for its design and was also selected by the Massachusetts Department of Education as a model design for other districts to emulate. In 2005, the district received the Richard W. Riley Award for Excellence for a school design and program that best exemplifies a school as a center of community. In 2007, the district received an Architectural Award Citation from AASA.
