My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the opportunity I get to build meaningful connections with great students and celebrate their successes both in and out of the classroom.
Spring has arrived! We are excited to share our Spring Middle School Newsletter, which is filled with important updates, upcoming events, and highlights of the great things happening in middle school.
Mark your calendars; the countdown to graduation is on!
Mr. Edwards' MS Math class is trying out a new strategy he learned a few weeks ago from the Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. When putting students in random groups of three and the use of non-permanent vertical spaces, students are more engaged and are quicker to start their task.
Thank you for all you do! Happy Administrative Professionals' Day! 🏫👏

Why Benton?
I chose Benton because it is my home district. I grew up here, and I have always wanted to be a part of the Benton family. My mother taught here, my wife teaches here, and my children went here.
