Almost 85% of school districts in Iowa have a VPPEL in place to help pay for maintenance and improvements.
"I chose Benton Community because my family lives in this district, my kids had started attending Benton Community, and my wife had accepted a teaching position at Norway."
Teamwork is a core value at Benton. Early outs on Wednesdays provide our staff with time for collaboration. Increasing capacity in the area of writing and Universal Design for Learning were two of the focuses within our system today.
BC's Celebration Co. received a #24 National Ranking from Barstool. Congratulations!
