Admin. Asst. 2 to Principal – Desiree Atencio, 303-347-7716

Mrs. Benton is excited to serve as the principal at Littleton High School, and she looks forward to the LHS students, staff, and families coming together in the culture and community that we all love so much. 

Mrs. Benton’s path to LHS started years ago at Gateway High School in Aurora, where she told folks she would be back to teach and coach.  And sure enough after graduating from Doane College in Crete, Nebraska, she started teaching language arts, sponsoring the school newspaper, and coaching basketball and soccer at Aurora Central High School. She moved to Heritage High School here in LPS, where she continued to teach and coach.  After earning her master's degree from the University of Phoenix in Education Administration and Supervision, she moved into roles as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director.  Then in 2008, she became a Lion coming to LHS as a language arts teacher.  While here at LHS, she has worn many hats, including assistant girls soccer coach, Instructional Coach, Athletic Director, and Assistant Principal for Instruction.  

Mrs. Benton and her husband, Kevin, can often be seen attending LHS events.  As a family, they enjoy traveling, camping, and attending church events and activities.
