"I chose Benton because it is a great place to live and raise a family. I grew up in the district and am thankful for all the experiences and opportunities our district provides. It is a great place to be."

"As a newcomer this year, I chose Benton because I was excited to officially become a part of this wonderful community. While living in the community for the last several years, I have seen and felt how amazing, caring and welcoming the people are. I feel so fortunate to be able to spend my days in the same community where my kids are growing up as Bobcats!"

"My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the connections that I make with students, staff, and community members. I love knowing that I am making a difference in the lives of my students and families."

School will be closed March 11 through March 15 for Spring Break. School will resume on Monday, March 18. Enjoy your Spring Break!

Thank you, Bobcats!

"I chose Benton as my wife and I both graduated from Benton Community Schools. We wanted our children to have the same opportunities and experiences we had growing up. We also chose Benton because of the school's strong sense of community, the opportunity to make a positive impact on students' lives, and the supportive environment for professional growth and development."
