Bennett Elementary Endowment
The McKinney Independent School District (McKinney ISD) chose to honor a lifetime educator and principal by naming an elementary school in his honor – The Dean Bennett Elementary School. The Bennett school’s administration and parent teacher organization took that honor one step further by establishing the Dean Bennett Elementary School Permanently Endowed Scholarship Fund.
