Ben Smith, Prowl Reporter

Ben Smith is a PHS junior, cross country runner, snake charmer, and obviously a reporter for the PHS Prowl. Smith rarely has any idea what he is doing, and can’t follow any kind of directions for his life. Smith does things his own way, no matter what you tell him, and he will do it in his iconic, sassy, and awkward way. Between his ADHD, sarcastic comments, attitude, and impulsiveness, Smith always seems to find himself in some sort of trouble. 

After high school, Smith hopes to attend Northwest College before moving to Colorado Springs and going into law enforcement. 

“Ben is probably my best friend,” Michael Stensing said. “I have absolutely no idea how that happened. I’m just joking.”
