Welcome to Smith Elementary, Where Small Hands Make Big Impressions.

Smith Elementary prides itself in creating a positive environment for its students and staff in showing great Panther Pride. Being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful can be heard throughout the halls of the school each and every day. Students can earn “Panther Paws” for their outstanding behavior.

We strive for community involvement. For example, a parent-teacher committee plans many of the yearly school assemblies and activities that is paid for by the Parent Teacher Organization. The PTO also plans an active calendar of events, including book fairs, our annual Winter Carnival, mileage club, box top contests, and other various activities for students throughout the school year.

We are privileged to be your partner in your child’s education and success and look forward to sharing great memories with each and every family.

Stockbridge Community Schools Selects Jeffrey Trapp as Next Superintendent

In a unanimous vote at their June 2 meeting, the Stockbridge Community Schools Board of Education selected Jeffrey Trapp to be their next superintendent. Trapp previously served as a teacher and is a principal in the district. The Board of Education's selection was supported by an inclusive process. Selection criteria were generated based on community input via in-person meetings and an online survey. Community members provided immediate feedback to board members during preliminary and final candidate interviews, including additional questions to ask the candidates. The Board of Education is grateful for the district's engaged citizens and staff support of the process.
