A Big Thank You to Everett Chevrolet!
Weâre thrilled to announce that, for the second year, our counselors at Benton Middle School, Benton Junior High, and Benton High School have partnered with Everett Chevrolet to provide strong, durable backpacks for students who need them throughout the year!

Thank you, Everett Chevrolet, for your continued support of our students and for strengthening our Benton Schools community!

You've got mail!
Weâve sent a test email to our entire district. If you received it, you don't need to take any further action!
If you did not receive the email, please get in touch with your childâs school to join the mailing list. Only those on your childâs contact list will be eligible to join.
Being on our email list is essential for staying informed. Because our district text messages have character limits, we often follow up with important details via email.
Thank you for being part of our community!
