new principal

I am so honored to continue to be a part of Benton Middle School in this new role. Being a part of such a special school and district is a true blessing. The future is exciting.

"I have been in the education profession for 23 years. For 18 years, I was a classroom teacher, and for the last five years, I have served as an Assistant Principal at Benton Middle School.

I am married to Justin McKell, and we have one daughter, Attie, a 9th grader at Benton Junior High. We enjoy spending time together doing anything outdoors."

Congratulations, Mrs. McKell!
