On behalf of the Benton Community Board of Education, our staff, administration and students, I would like to welcome you to our school district web site. It is our intent and hope that you will find the information contained in the various links informative and helpful. Please let us know your thoughts on our web site by contacting our coordinator, Jan Andreesen with your comments or requests for additional information.

The Benton Community School District provides outstanding opportunities for its 1480 students. From a caring, committed professional staff of teachers, to excellent and safe learning facilities, and from the fine arts to athletics, Benton Community provides an environment where children feel they belong. Benton Community has also been progressive in updating school facilities across the district to provide a safe and productive learning environment for students and staff.

The great success of our students is directly related to the quality of the teachers and support staff at Benton. Our teachers take pride in their commitment to quality education. They don’t just teach, but they are actively involved in the development of each student. They are also involved in developing their own professional skills.

Also important to student success is the dedication and cooperation of our Board of Education, parents, patrons, and every individual who plays an integral role in the growth and development of the school community’s young people. Their contributions ensure that Benton Community is a place to learn.

The most important factor that helps make Benton Community successful is the expectation that students do their best and that the community does its best to help them. That cooperation creates an environment where everyone can succeed because of common aspirations and goals.

Benton Community is a place to enjoy! It’s a place that lets you get involved in things that really matter – the education of our children, the development of the community, and the quality of life. Perhaps the best way to find out about Benton Community is to talk to the people who live here. The reasons that brought them here and the reasons they stay show why Benton Community is a "place to belong".
