A Message from the Principal of Smith Elementary 

A woman with curly hair smiles warmly at the camera.

At B.J. Smith Elementary, our Leopards wear their SPOTS with PRIDE—demonstrating Self-Control, Perseverance, Ownership, Thinking, and a continual Strive for Excellence in everything they do. These core values are the heart of our school culture and the foundation of our commitment to academic and personal growth.

We take great pride in the unique strengths of our school community, including our vibrant unity House Celebrations, Advanced Academic activities, strong Social-Emotional Learning supports, and Family Engagement. These elements come together to create opportunities to develop a high-achieving environment where we believe every child can thrive.

Guided by our vision to Love, Grow, and Achieve, we empower students to take ownership of their learning while fostering a strong sense of self-worth. Through meaningful relationships and high expectations, we are preparing our students for real-world success by building unity, modeling excellence, and cultivating lifelong learners.

Welcome to B.J. Smith Elementary—where every student is seen, supported, and inspired to wear their SPOTS with PRIDE.

Warm regards,
Deidre Lester
