 Welcome Back, Benzie Central Families! 

The first day of school is almost here! 

We are excited to welcome our students, families, staff, and community back for another great year at Benzie County Central Schools.

Monday, August 31, 2026, marks the first day of school! 

Continue to follow our district facebook, school calendar, and news updates. 

New updates and alerts can be located on our website, www.benzieschools.net

A new school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, make memories, and build connections. 

To our students—we can't wait to see your smiling faces in our hallways and classrooms!

To our families and community—thank you for your continued support of our students and schools.

 Together, we make Benzie Central a special place to learn and grow.  Last evening's BA/MS/HS open house was a testimony to that.

 If you have any building specific questions, please reach out to your child(rens) building offices. 

Here's to a safe, successful, and inspiring 2026–2027 school year! 

Welcome back, Benzie Central-

Mrs. Catina Crossman

We had a thrilling four-way tie at this year's Gridiron Classic with an incredible score of 61! 

Shoutout to our top finishers: Sandford & Sons, Richie Rich, The Misfits and The Benzie Boys.

Congratulations to The Benzie Boys! 

They are taking home the special Patriotic Jackets to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the Declaration of Independence! 

Thank you to everyone who played!

Back to School means Back to Breakfast & Lunch...

An Education Benefits Form is very important to school food service in Michigan, even though Michigan provides school meals at no cost to students. 

The key point is that the form is no longer just about whether a child pays for lunch—it helps establish eligibility data that affects funding and programs across the district.

The Education Benefits Form helps Food Service accurately document student eligibility, supports proper meal-program administration, and provides the district with data that can help secure additional funding for educational programs and services.

For Benzie County Central Schools, this is especially important to communicate to families as: “Even though school meals are free, completing the Education Benefits Form helps make sure our district receives every dollar of funding our students are eligible to receive.”

Please fill out this form and return it to Food Service Director, Lisa Purchase.

 “Even though school meals are free, completing the Education Benefits Form helps make sure our district receives every dollar of funding our students are eligible to receive.”

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Hard copies will be made available at your child(rens) school
