A Heartfelt Thank You to our friends at Everett Chevrolet
The Benton School District is profoundly grateful to Everett Chevrolet and the Everett Family for their incredible generosity and unwavering support of our schools and community. Their recent $15,000 donation to help pay off student lunchroom debt is an extraordinary act of kindness that will make a meaningful difference for so many families this holiday season.
Their commitment to our district and their continued investment in the well-being of our students reflect the true spirit of giving and community.
From all of us at Benton Schools, thank you for helping ensure every student is cared for and supported.
Rezoning Update and Public Meeting Reminder
The Benton School District is preparing for the opening of Mountain View Middle School in the fall of 2025. To accommodate this exciting addition, proposed rezoning plans have been developed to determine which students will attend each middle school.

Students attending Caldwell Elementary, Mountain View Elementary, and parts of Ringgold Elementary will attend Mountain View Middle School.
Students attending Howard Perrin Elementary, Angie Grant Elementary, and other parts of Ringgold Elementary will attend Benton Middle School.
We understand the importance of these decisions and value your input. Please join us tomorrow night for a public meeting to review the proposed plans and share your feedback:
📍 211 N. Border St.
🕓 Tuesday, December 10th, 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM (drop-in style).
