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.

Why Benton?
I chose to teach at Benton because of the district’s commitment to high levels of learning and creating a place where every child feels they belong. As both a teacher and parent, I value the strong relationships and sense of community Benton provides for students and families.

It's absolute MADNESS how talented our BC artists are!!

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the students and staff! I love standing in the halls in the morning and greeting the students as they come down from breakfast and head to their classes. The staff make sure each student feels welcome and safe. We work well together to make sure no student goes unnoticed!
