Achieving Excellence One Student at a Time

Welcome Back!

We hope you all had an awesome summer break! We also hope that you relaxed, connected with friends and family, and now are ready to start a new school year. Mrs. Davis and I are happy that you are part of our amazing learning community at Smith. We welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with everyone!

Together with the awesome teachers and staff, we will all work hard to continue the district initiatives at Smith by building strong relationships with parents, students, and community partners. Smith is a great place for students to grow and learn. We will promote active learning for all students, encourage students to “think outside the box” and ensure our students are given the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills to become productive citizens in a vastly changing global society.
