Why Benton?
I moved to Norway over 10 years ago and started working at Norway Intermediate. I chose to stay because I have always been made to feel that I belong.

Dr. Bieschke and the Benton Community School Board recognized three students last night for their exceptional achievement in mathematics on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP). Each student received a Superintendent’s Proclamation of Recognition celebrating this impressive accomplishment. Congratulations to Calvin Daily, Madison Lacina, and Kellen Dorman, who were recognized as National Math Stars nominees! ⭐
The National Math Stars Program, a partnership between the Iowa Department of Education and National Math Stars, recognizes and supports students demonstrating exceptional mathematical ability. Iowa third-grade students who score in the top 2% statewide in mathematics on the ISASP are recognized as nominees and invited to apply for the program. In 2026, just 785 third graders across Iowa earned this distinction. There were almost 40,000 third graders in Iowa who participated in the assessment. They were also celebrated by their teacher, Ms. Bastian.
We are incredibly proud to have three Bobcats among this exceptional group of young mathematicians! Congratulations, Calvin, Madison, and Kellen, on your hard work and achievement! 💙💛

New staff were formally welcomed to Benton Community by administrators and teacher leaders on Thursday. Part of the orientation experience included a tour of every community in the district. It provides a great way for our new staff to experience all of the communities and school buildings that make up Bobcat Country while also providing time to get to know each other. We are so fortunate!
Thank you for the generous donation of 32 backpacks, water bottles, and headphones to Benton Community! Over the summer, Lucy Kuhl, 5th grade and Millie Kuhl, 2nd grade ran a lemonade stand in the Newhall area. Through their efforts, they were able to purchase these school supplies for students in grades K-6. Thank you for supporting our community and helping our students thrive!
