Benton Central Junior/Senior High School is the only high school in Benton County, Indiana and is located five miles southeast of Fowler in Atkinson. The school mascot is the Bison. BC was a 1960s consolidation of Ambia, Boswell, Earl Park, Fowler, Montmorenci, Pine Township, Oxford, and Otterbein Middle and High Schools. The number of elementaries sending students to Benton Central has declined steadily since then, and only four are left. The first graduating class ('69) selected by vote the mascot, colors, and school name (choices were Benton Central or Benton Prairie).
The school is administered by the Benton Community School Corporation.
