Laura is a native San Diegan. She has been married to her husband, Jason, for 21 years, and they have two boys, ages 10 & 13, whom she has homeschooled through Heritage since her oldest was in Kindergarten. The Bennetts have attended EC Class Day from the beginning and Laura has taught Kindergarten as well as multiple elementary science classes there over the years. Her boys are involved with Band, Choir, Robotics, and Drama while playing ice hockey and Fall Ball on the side. In their free time, the family likes to go camping, road-tripping, go to the beach, and Disneyland.

The Bennett family attends Mission Valley Christian Fellowship, which Laura started attending in 2000 when she first became a Christian. There, Laura teaches in the Family Ministry, Jason plays drums on the Worship Team, leads security, and co-leads the Men’s Ministry and their oldest helps with Livestream and their coffee ministry.

Laura has been a public school teacher for 27 years. Ever since her oldest was born, she started job sharing (sharing her contract with another teacher), and has worked 20% (one day a week) for many years now. She teaches Kindergarten and is thankful to be able to be a help and a light to her young students.

The Bennetts are so blessed and thankful to be a part of Heritage and all it has to offer! Laura is especially excited to take on the role of working with the Drama Committee this year, something she hopes will inspire and bless students while working together with others, using their God-given talents and crediting the One Most High.
