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.
