Learning Looks Different at Smith Middle School

Eric S. Smith Middle School is a keystone of a school district that has a rich history and proven record of achievement in academics, athletics and arts. Smith forms an important bridge between the foundation of elementary school and the responsibility of high school. We are very proud of what our students accomplish, and we hope your Smith experience will be both educational and fulfilling.

A Commitment to Real-World Skills

An education at Smith School includes courses in Foods and Nutrition, where students prepare foods in state-of-the-art kitchens. Many schools have done away with this kind of program, but ours gives students yet another place where they can put coursework from math and science into practice and learn important life skills.

Student Wellness

Middle school is a time of transition, when adolescents face new challenges and experience a tremendous period of growth. Smith School provides a safe and stigma-free environment with social/emotional programming and transition supports. We help students grow from their experiences with newfound competencies.

Beyond the Classroom

Smith’s robust curriculum is enhanced by supplemental programs and resources. Pictured above is our 6th grade field trip to Medieval Times where students get a firsthand experience of Feudalism.

Music Education

Smith School is not only committed to student success in core academic areas, but in the creative and performing arts as well. Our choral, digital music, and band programs are housed in a brand-new addition of our building, giving students the chance to practice their musical arts with state of the art resources and equipment.
