My name is Jason West, Principal at Atkins Elementary. My wife and I along with our two boys live in the community of Atkins. We moved to the area from Des Moines in 2007 and have enjoyed being a part of such a great community.
I chose to work at Benton Community in 1997 as a Business teacher at the MS/HS. It was my first teaching job out of college and I couldn’t have been happier. I was so fortunate to have fabulous mentors who helped guide me as a new teacher. I was also blessed that Benton provided me with a philosophical foundation of what it means to be a teacher.
I left the district to pursue a head coaching position and instantly realized that not all schools were like Benton Community which I so naively thought. After a decade away from the district I received the honor of a lifetime through a phone call offering me the Benton High School Principal position from Mr. Zittergruen in 2007. Little did I know then that I would have another honor of a lifetime when I was offered the privilege of serving as the superintendent at Benton Community!
My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the ability to work side by side with students, staff, and a community that values education while also valuing the great people of this district. We have had a fabulous school year and accomplished so many positive outcomes. I look forward to next year and the improvements we can achieve working together as Bobcats!
Dr. James Bieschke
Superintendent
Come cheer on the Benton Bobcat Softball team tonight as they take on the Williamsburg Raiders! These two undefeated, top 5 ranked teams begin play at 5:30 at Zittergruen Field. If you're unable to join in person, tune into KCRG 9.2. Jeff Linder from the Cedar Rapids Gazette will also be covering this big game on the diamond. Go Bobcats!
