Benton Community School District

Benton Community physics students spend the day in Waterloo as they attend Science at the Park hosted by Clarksville School District and Lost Island Adventure Park. Students are able to ride rides and collect qualitative and physiological data, attend make and takes, and tour the waterpark's wave tank machines.

"Choosing to work at Benton Community was an easy decision. It was an extremely short commute, the hours were great, and my children would attend there. I stayed because of the community that is so engaged, concerned and entwined with each other they become like family."

Girls and Boys State Track send-off. Good luck, Bobcats!!
