Benton County Schools

All official Benton County School fundraisers will be announced through the school’s official social media accounts, the school district app, or by flyers sent home with students. If you would like to verify whether a fundraiser is officially sanctioned, please check these sources or contact the school administration directly. These measures help ensure that all fundraising activities are clearly communicated and authorized by the district.
