Focusing on "Striving for Excellence", Smyrna High School believes

• All students achieve success by learning.
• A safe, nurturing environment will enable students and staff to build rapport and increase learning for the purpose of attaining academic benchmarks of proficiency and beyond.
• Aligning common policies and procedures in PLCs (Professional Learning Communities) will focus on students’ needs for academic success in a data-driven decision making process.
