Bennett County High School is an exciting school, it has fairly good athletic programs and a lot of outside teachers coming to fill teaching positions. The counselor doesn't help many students, so we often have to figure out college stuff and test stuff by ourselves. There are a lot of rules that I feel do not help us be ready to live in the real world.

I have enjoyed my time at Bennett County greatly. The school has a cozy, small town atmosphere where most people in the school get along. You are also able to tell the teachers care about your success and will help you to reach your goals.

There are few teachers in my life that I could actually talk to about college, and my future without getting put down. The teachers at Bennett County High School actually care enough to help you further after class. They also talk to you a lot about your future and try their hardest to get you to the place you need to be in order to succeed. For the most part each are concerned about the well being of students on and off of the school property. They want us, as students, to get far and go beyond what is expected of us. I do not have many problems with teachers at the school at all for they help me with my work, my duties outside of school, and they will not give up on me no matter how bad of a day I am having. The staff here, for the most part, is great.
