Supporting Excellence

The Benton Panther Foundation is committed to supporting excellence in the Benton School District. We are here to provide enriched opportunities for students to succeed in all areas of their education. We support academics, athletics, music, technology, and citizenship. Benton is fortunate in that our students gain so much through the District’s own funds and efforts. Though the district works hard and provides much, sometimes help is needed. The Benton Panther Foundation is here working to bridge the gap.

Teach By Example

We appreciate the teachers, faculty members and others employed by the Benton School District for their hard work and for their support of students and the district as a whole. If you are a teacher or other faculty member who would like to show your support in an extra special way, we want to help you to do that. Our Teach by Example Program is a program that allows teachers and other district employees to give to our Foundation on a regular basis via bank draft.

MORE INFORMATION

Benton Panther Foundation

The Benton Panther Foundation started in 2007 as the brainchild of former superintendent, Dr. Tony Prothro. That fall, Dr. Prothro asked Coach Scott Neathery to be in charge of starting up a foundation that would help benefit all students by raising funds for big projects around the school district. The Foundation’s original members consisted of about 15 caring members of the Saline County community (five who were on an executive committee), many of whom are still active in the foundation.
