About the candidate

Meet Chris Faucher

Neighbor, parent, and IT professional. Candidate for Bennington School Board.

I have lived in Bennington with my wife since the fall of 2006. We’re proud parents of a BPS graduate, and we care about the future of this district. We also have two grandchildren, who will soon be ready for school.

By day I work as an IT analyst, currently with Nebraska Medicine. My background includes data engineering, technical support, budgeting, operations, and training. In the community I’ve volunteered on the Bennington Library expansion remodel campaign. I have attended and watched BPS board meetings online to stay updated on the school district.

Off the clock I’m happiest in the kitchen or barbecuing, cooking for family and friends.
