Why Benton?:
I've always believed that earning the degree or diploma is not the end of the story—that learning was an experience that lasts a lifetime. The mission statement "Quality Education for a Lifetime of Learning" is what drew me here, and I love seeing it in action every day!

My favorite part about working in this district is that our district truly values students’ growth—both academically and personally—and supports them every step of the way. The sense of community, teamwork, and care among staff, students, and families makes Benton a special place to be.

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is that students have opportunities to shine in so many different areas. I love seeing students participating in multiple activities and having so many great experiences in and out of the classroom.
