Ms. Niena Varney

I am a transplanted yankee blooming in Benson. I have decided that who you are is not always where you come from. I was born and raised in Maine and moved to NC in 1995. We have lived, worked, played and ate in Benson ever since and I have loved every minute of it.

I received my GED with honors in 2002 from JCC. I had the 3rd highest score in the state for that year. I am proud to own that recognition. I graduated high honors from JCC with my Associates in Arts in 2011. My crowning moment happened in 2014 when I graduated of East Carolina University with certification areas in Language Arts, Science and Social Studies.

I have 4 sons ages 17-24. They build a beautiful and chaotic life for me and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my dog, my cats, Patriot Football, reading Young Adult Fiction novels and Big Brother!

Hello Everyone! These first few days have FLOWN by! I don't know about everyone else, but I am exhausted everyday. But, I know this is all going to be great. I wanted to reach out and let everyone know that I have added a few tutorial videos to the google classrooms as well as my teacher youtube.

Also, I want everyone to know that we are all aware of the log in issues. If you are still struggling please reach out to me so I can try to get you to where you need to be.

Thank you all so much for being so amazing everyday doing the absolute best you can! We are making history..while learning history!! (ALso, that is irony which is ELA so it is a 2for joke!!)

Updated Social Distancing Procedures

Information on social distancing in school settings has been recently updated by the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS). Upon receiving information from the NCDHHS, we consulted with the Johnston County Public Health Department on the impact these updates will have on our school system. This ongoing collaboration continues to guide our decision-making as students return to classrooms for in-person instruction.
