ROBERT C. BENSON MEMORIAL
LIBRARY

The Benson Library is the heart of our school, giving our students access to the materials they needed to learn, grow and expand their learning in all areas of their studies. Students are guided through independent discovery, learn research skills, and work collaboratively to extend and enrich their classroom curriculum.

Our library is more than just a collection of books; it is a well-rounded resource area for our students to access any information they need to accelerate their learning.
