Benson has a rich history of innovation, creativity, and success.

Currently Benson has 75% minorities and has a 62% poverty rate yet they have the 2nd highest graduation rate. Why would you take away from a school that works? It just doesn't add up.....

As an alumni, coach, and community member I have a deep passion for Benson and believe this redesign is the wrong decision.

Altering the high school system is essential but we should learn from Benson not change it.
