My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the incredible sense of pride and belonging. It's so special to watch our students grow from preschoolers all the way up, gaining confidence and independence each year. I love being a part of such an amazing, supportive community.

Why Benton?
I became a Benton parent in 2015, and from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a sense of welcome and belonging unlike anything I had experienced before. It truly felt like home.

In 2019, after 19 years of teaching in other districts, an opportunity arose that prompted me to make a change. Choosing to join Benton was the best decision I could have made.

My favorite part of being a Bobcat is the incredible Bobcat pride—you can feel it at games, concerts, and every school event.
