Principal Welcome

Welcome to Tommy Smith Elementary School! At our school, our mission is simple, but powerful: to help every child reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring that every student leaves 5th grade not only ready for middle school, but confident, capable, and prepared for the future.

Our dedicated team works every day to support academic growth and a love of learning. We are also proud of our strong partnership with Merritt Brown Middle School, where many of our students continue their journey with a strong foundation.

At the heart of our school culture are what we call "The Big 3": treat others right, make smart decisions, and maximize your potential. These core values guide our daily actions and interactions, helping students build character, take ownership of their choices, and strive to be the best version of themselves.

Thank you for being a part of our school community. We look forward to working together to support the growth of our students.

Heather Kirkpatrick, Principal
