Why Benton? "I chose to teach at Benton to be part of a community-based education approach. It's rewarding to witness our students' academic and personal growth. I enjoy getting to see them succeed, not only academically, but also become well-rounded individuals who positively contribute to society."
If you want to learn more about the VPPEL yourself or have information about the VPPEL shared with a group you're part of, you can reach out to our team at Central Office and we will arrange a time to meet or visit on the phone.
