Happy New Year
Why Benton?
I chose Benton because it truly is a place where everyone belongs. I am not from the area, but was immediately welcomed. I student taught here, and knew I wanted to come back!

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the sense of community. It feels like more than just a workplace, it feels like home!

Why Benton?
I was young and fresh out of college looking for a teaching gig. 16 years and 3 children later, it's HOME in every sense of the word. Great people make great things happen, and I'm glad to be a part of it!
