Why Benton? "I originally came to Benton because my wife had just gotten a job at Rockwell Collins and I needed to work somewhere near Cedar Rapids so we both would have a short commute. I've stayed at Benton for the last 26 years because from day one I've met, and gotten to work with, so many amazing people. And, it was a great school for our kids to attend. I've been very fortunate to work here and call myself a Bobcat."
Why did you choose to work at Benton? "Choosing to work in the school district I graduated from is important to me. It's coming full circle, and now having my children go to school here too just makes it feel like home. It's not just a job; it's about being part of the place that shaped me and now gets to be a part of my family's story too."
Why Benton? "I choose Benton because of the opportunity and support to learn and grow as a teacher."
Benton Community School District wishes you a wonderful Holiday Season! #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

We want to remind our students and families of the importance of regular school attendance. When students miss school, they miss important instructional time that can’t be replaced. In fact, missing 10% or more of the school year (18+ days a year) can put students at risk of academic failure. Research shows they are less likely to read proficiently and graduate from high school. For our students to succeed, they need to be at school. Help your student get to school every day so that they can stay engaged, successful, and on track to graduate.
If you need support with your student’s attendance, please reach out to the school.
