On Thursday, May 25, faculty and friends gathered to wish Assistant Head of School and Head of Lower School Mrs. Sally Laird well on her retirement after 50 incredible years at Benchmark School. 

Eighth grader Sage Richards won first prize in the 7th/8th-grade music category for the original song he submitted to the 2023 Mordechai Anielewicz Creative Arts Competition through Gratz College. 

After an extensive national search, we are thrilled to announce that Dr. Latrisha Chattin will join Benchmark as the Head of Middle School in July 2023. 

Sixth grader Penelope Prinbeck recently donated a new book to our lower school library.  However, this isn’t a book you can find on Amazon or in any bookstore; this book was written by Penelope’s grandmother, Nancy Prindle, and illustrated by Penelope herself. 

Benchmark’s summer camp offers a five-week program that builds self-confidence in reading, writing, sports, activities, and beyond. Along with our exclusive Confidence Ropes Course, we have trained and experienced teachers that facilitate success in a supportive learning environment to build self-confidence in themselves as learners.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Eric MacDonald, Benchmark School’s 8th grade teacher, Transition Counselor, and Assistant to the Middle School Head, was awarded the 2022 KSLA Exemplary Service Award.
