Building Community: Brian Benjamin on Connection, Care, and Creating Opportunities in Owensboro
In this episode, we sit down with Brian Benjamin, the first Full Service Community Schools Coordinator for Owensboro Public Schools. From tackling barriers to student success to strengthening family engagement, Brian shares how OPS is reimagining what it means to serve the whole child. A proud Somerset native, Kentucky Wesleyan College graduate, and former KWC football player, Brian also opens up about life as a husband, dad, and leader alongside his wife Beth in the OPS system. It’s a heartfelt look at education, community, and what truly makes Owensboro, Owensboro.
