Smithton is a small school that allows lots of one on one learning experiences. It is one of those places where everyone knows everyone. Focus is centered around academics and leadership opportunities. For example, 3/4 of the students are involved in extracurricular activities.

Smithton High School is comforting. It's small so the teachers and students are able to form connections and I'm able to easily be involved in a lot of clubs. The teachers at Smithton really care about the student's education and they're passionate about what they teach. They want us to learn the material and pass with a good grade instead of just barely passing. It's nice knowing that I can talk to the administration if I'm having any problems and they'll try to help and support me. I appreciate the hard work Smithton's administration puts into our education.
