Meet our BHS School Nurses
Kelea Duke
My name is Kelea Duke. I've been a nurse for 15 years, and this is my 7th year at BHS. My husband Brian, and I both graduated from Benton High School and now our 3 amazing kids attend Benton School District. I love working at the high school and being able to take care of our students. It's hard to ever have a bad day when you are surrounded by so many smiling faces! Go Panthers!

Cristi Brown
My name is Cristi Brown. I completed my education at Benton Public Schools and graduated from Benton High School in 1998. After high school, I pursued my nursing degree and have been a nurse for 21 years. My nursing career has centered on women's and children's services, and I spent 10 years as a substitute school nurse before accepting a full-time position as a nurse at Benton High School.
I am married to Clint Brown, and we have three children. Our oldest is a recent graduate of BHS, and our other two attend Benton schools.
I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to get to know more of our students. One of my favorite things about working at the high school level is seeing our students prepare for their next steps and succeed. As I strive to meet their healthcare needs in the school setting, I look forward to building relationships and becoming a trusted resource for them. I hope to ensure the health and well-being of our students, and I look forward to serving the Benton High School community in this capacity.
