My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is that Benton is a Place to Belong.
Whether it’s through athletics or one of the many activities offered across our district, we’re proud of the coaches and activity sponsors who encourage our students, help them grow, and support their success.
Happy National Coaches Day to all of our coaches and activity sponsors! We appreciate all you do for our students!
