Where Students Are Empowered to Succeed!
At Colonel Santos Benavides School, administrators, teachers, staff and parents are committed to high standards of excellence. Our purpose is to teach students beyond the basics and create self-directed, life-long learners through the skills of critical thinking, problem solving, technology, and effective communication to prepare our scholars for the 21st century. We motivate students to reach their full potential and become productive citizens, responsible for the positive impact they have on their families and community. We believe in learning through enjoyable and engaging activities and celebrating when we have reached our set goals.
