History
A consolidated school board from Keystone, Van Horne, Newhall and Blairstown met from 1962 to 1964 for the planning of the consolidated BCSD, which was officially formed in July 1964.[6]
In 1988, Benton Community joined the WaMaC Conference after the Eastern Iowa conference was disbanded.
The Norway school district merged into the Benton district on July 1, 1995.[7] The schools themselves consolidated earlier in a grade-sharing arrangement in the fall of 1991.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". From this consolidation, the movie The Final Season portrayed the final state title of the Norway High School baseball team.
