Thank you, Bobcats!
"I chose Benton as my wife and I both graduated from Benton Community Schools. We wanted our children to have the same opportunities and experiences we had growing up. We also chose Benton because of the school's strong sense of community, the opportunity to make a positive impact on students' lives, and the supportive environment for professional growth and development."

During National School Breakfast Week, March 4-8, let's celebrate the positive impact of school breakfast programs on student achievement. Together, we can empower every child to reach their full potential. Let's make breakfast a priority and pave the way for a brighter future.
Benton Community has one of the lowest tax levy rates in Iowa. BC has the lowest rate within our immediate area. Even with a levy increase with the VPPEL, Benton Community would continue to have the lowest rate in the area.
Today is Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day. Thanks, Kent and Zach for all you do!
