Smoky Mountain has given me a lot of opportunities with my community and has helped shape me into a stronger human being. They focus on creating unity and participation with the school. Which has helped me grow in more communitive ways, with sports, clubs and activites.

Within my four years of being at SMHS I have made many friends I now consider family. The staff here are always as helpful as they can be and prioritize the safety of their students. My experience with the sports here at SMHS have been great, I played soccer for 4 years and made all conference my senior year. The coaches in all sports are dedicated to their school and their athletes. Overall there is not another high school I would rather be at than SMHS
2/4/2024
I would not recommend this school. The environment is harsh and there is very little help and guidance throughout the 4 years of school. There is little to NO college readiness and no support.

Excellent teachers. Great school. I really enjoyed being at SMHS. It was a great experience and I won't forget it.
