Why Benton?
I chose to teach at Benton because the size of the school/district allows students a lot of options in regards to activities and academics, while still allowing students to make positive connections and build relationships.

Congratulations to the 2025 Benton Community Homecoming Court
My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is having the opportunity to work with the teachers, students and families that are in our community. We are so blessed to have some of the best people around as well as so many opportunities to see kids thrive in so many different activities! Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat!
