I would like to inform you that we have decided to postpone the Musical to this spring. There were many factors that influenced this decision and we feel it is in the best interest of our students to perform the musical this spring, instead of the originally scheduled fall musical. We will be sure to inform you of any more details as they come about. If you have any questions you can contact me at (320) 842-2708. Thank you!

Congratulations to Benson Public Schools for being recognized for excellence by the Minnesota Department of Education!
The Minnesota Department of Education released the 2018 North Star Accountability report on all schools. Overall, Benson Schools showed growth and Benson High School was recognized in the top 5% in the state for excellence in its high four-year graduation rate for all students and was also one of two high schools in the state to be recognized for its high graduation rate for low-income students. Congratulations to our students, staff, and school for this accomplishment!
Equipping Our Community
Bond Referendum
Prepared and paid for by ISD 777
On April 25, 2016 Benson Schools hosted a public meeting to have the community identify the vision and priorities for the overall Arts and Activities program. Different committees made up of students, parents, coaches, and advisors worked on the priorities to identify goals and action plans needed to meet the priorities. A group of students took the vision statements from the public meeting and developed an overall vision statement. The Benson School Board adopted the vision statement and goals during the July meeting. Thank you to all the community members, students, coaches, and advisors for providing direction for BHS Arts & Activities.
