“It is with heavy hearts that we the faculty, staff and student body of Wilkinson County High School announce the passing of our principal, mentor & friend Mr. Robert Benson, Jr.” the post said.  “Our hearts and prayers go out to the Benson Family at this difficult time. You will live forever in our hearts.”
