Why Benton?
I chose to work at Benton because of the small town, deep community feeling it brings. I enjoy working with the students I serve and appreciate all of the staff.

Our high school PE students wrapped up the quarter last week with a field trip to Mission Athletics! Students explored how physical activity and fitness can be part of their lives long after PE class ends. They had the opportunity to try out equipment, explore different workout spaces, and even experience the altitude chamber! 💪 What a great opportunity for students to make real-world connections and discover new ways to stay active and healthy throughout their lives!
