"I chose Benton because of our culture and beliefs we have in learning and educating our students. Benton is a place to belong and great learning opportunities happen here everyday. All staff are committed to the students they see and serve. As a parent of a child who also attends Benton, that is what I want for my own family, a school culture that truly puts students first."
School will dismiss at 1:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, October 11.
