"I chose Benton because it is a great place to live and raise a family. I grew up in the district and am thankful for all the experiences and opportunities our district provides. It is a great place to be."
"As a newcomer this year, I chose Benton because I was excited to officially become a part of this wonderful community. While living in the community for the last several years, I have seen and felt how amazing, caring and welcoming the people are. I feel so fortunate to be able to spend my days in the same community where my kids are growing up as Bobcats!"
School will be closed March 11 through March 15 for Spring Break. School will resume on Monday, March 18. Enjoy your Spring Break!

"My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the pride that students, staff, families, and community members have in being a Bobcat. The events at Benton, especially Homecoming and Veteran’s Day, where the district all comes together are some of my favorites. I am so glad we chose Benton for our family!"
