BCHS will hold its regular Board of Education meeting on Thursday, May 16th, 2024 at 5:00pm instead of 5:30.
Due to the severe weather, we will be postponing tonight's band auditions. If you were scheduled to audition tonight, please come tomorrow, or Friday during your normal scheduled time. If you can, please email Mr. McDaniel and let him know which day you are going to choose so that I can make note of it and type out a schedule. If you cannot make it tomorrow or Friday, please reach out to him and let me know a time that does work for you.

Meal prices will increase next year as required by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). The ISBE conducted a School Nutrition Resource Management Review this spring. Because we are a part of the federal lunch program, we receive reimbursement for each student lunch at approx. $3.50. The feds want our meal prices to be at least the same amount as our reimbursement. Rather than increase our prices by .90, we are allowed to make an incremental increase of .10. In addition, adult meal prices must be at least .50 higher than the paid student meal price. Therefore, prices for student and adult meals will increase next year as follows:
Student Breakfast from $1.55 to $1.65, Student Lunch from $2.60 to $2.70,
Adult Breakfast from $1.80 to $2.15, Adult Lunch from $2.80 to $3.20.

2023-24 Illinois Youth Survey Announcement
On February 22, 2024, Benton Consolidated High School will be conducting the Illinois Youth Survey with all of our 10th and 12th graders. The IYS is administered in schools across the state every two years. The purpose of the IYS is to better understand experiences and behaviors as they relate to students, their success, and the programs that may be needed to keep them safe and healthy. Students will be asked to complete an anonymous survey that will be administered in school. The survey asks about topics including activities, school experiences, violence/safety, and nutrition, as well as tobacco, vaping, and substance use. The survey is completely voluntary. We would greatly appreciate you allowing your child to participate in the survey. If you have questions about the Illinois Youth Survey please contact Mr. Sean Docherty (618-439-3103, sdocherty@bentonhighschool.org). If you do not want your child to participate, sign and return the parent notification form to the Main Office in care of Mrs. Gayla McClerren.
The BCHS Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2024 will be on Saturday, May 11 at 4:00 p.m. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outdoors at Tabor Field.
