My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is how welcoming students, staff, and families are to educators. Benton’s close-knit community has made me feel important and needed ever since I came here in 2021. Benton is truly a place to belong!

A huge thank you to Jeremy with Haven Enterprises for taking the time to work with Mr. Reid's HS construction class; teaching students how to make trusses! We appreciate him sharing his knowledge and real-world experience with our students. He did a fantastic job, and our students learned so much from the hands-on experience. Thank you for supporting career and technical education.

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is I truly love all the people I get to work with everyday. We are so lucky to have a strong connection throughout the district and when we all come together, the feeling of pride is unreal!
