My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is knowing that I can make a difference in three-year-olds perception of school and start them on the right track to success at Benton Community Schools!

Congratulations to the 2025 Benton Community Homecoming Court

My favorite part about teaching at Benton is the way people become family. The staff, students, and parents all work together, much like a family, to make sure the children are excelling!

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is having the opportunity to work with the teachers, students and families that are in our community. We are so blessed to have some of the best people around as well as so many opportunities to see kids thrive in so many different activities! Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat!
