My name is Mrs. Benji Burchett and I am an English/Language Arts instructor at McCreary Central High School.  This is my 7^th year with MCHS, while my teaching career places me at an 16 year total ranging from Head Start through 12^th grade.  Education is an important part of my life both as a student and teacher.  I attended Eastern Kentucky University where I earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in English and I earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching through the University of the Cumberalnds.  I have been an active part of our school as a teacher and supporter.  I believe in a strong work ethic and applying oneself to maximize each individuals potential. I hope to instill in all my students a sense of pride in their work, and in themselves. I hold each to a high standard as well as having high expectations for myself. I am a proud mother to two, wife of an amazing Chemistry teacher, an active school and club sponsor, and community member.  I look forward to many successful years here at MCHS and hope to give back to a community that I call home.
