Benton Community is so fortunate to have so many wonderful, caring associates that support students and systems in a variety of ways.
"The best thing about being a BOBCAT is the atmosphere of the community is like that of a close family. We are supportive of one another and look after each other’s children as if they are our own. "

We had some special guests today from the Atkins Fire Department. Thank you for teaching our students about fire safety and showing them what equipment your trucks carry.
"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."
