Why Benton?
I chose to teach at Benton due to the small town similarities I had growing up. I have been thankful to work with a great group of teachers and students. It truly makes Benton a place to belong.

Why Benton?
It’s the perfect mix of a large school with tons of opportunities but is made up of students from rural communities.

My favorite part about being a Bobcat is the strong sense of community here at Benton. The connections made with the students and staff and the support from the families are so important to the success of the each and every student.
