Tyler Maschino is currently the Technology Director at Benton Community Schools. He’s been employed at Benton for the past 24 years. When he first got here email was a big deal and data was stored on 1.44 inch floppy disks. Those disks wouldn’t have the space to store one photo taken with an iPhone today.


Due to predicted low temperatures, there will be no morning activities or practices tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31st.


Have a wonderful weekend Bobcats!
