Please join us in welcoming Mr. Bennett Sierens to the staff here at Logan Junior High School! Mr Sierens will be the new 8th grade resource teacher beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. Bennett attended Loras College in DuBuque, Iowa and completed his degree in Elementary Education, with an endorsement in Special Education. He completed his student teaching at two different elementary schools in the Dubuque area, and says it was an amazing experience for him.
"Growing up in Tiskilwa, and being a graduate of Princeton High School", Bennett said, "I am excited to come back and teach in the same school districts that I attended." He is the oldest of six kids in his family, and many current staff members have probably already dealt with a few of his siblings. "If you haven’t," he tells Logan, "there are two more that will go through, so watch out!" In addition to teaching here, he coaches football and baseball at the Princeton High School. When he finds free time, he loves watching sports, and being outdoors either fishing or hunting.
"I am extremely excited to be in this building, and connecting with each of you. I love working with students and staff members, and leaving a positive impact on those I work with."
We are equally excited to welcome you, Bennett, and look forward to your return to Princeton Elementary!
