Message From the Principal

Smoot Elementary School is a rural school nestled in the heart of Greenbrier County. The students come from outlying communities such as Clintonville, Grassy Meadows, Dawson and Meadow Bluff. The school has a population of 147 students in grades PK to 5.

The staff strives to provide educational excellence to children. We believe we must support their social, emotional and academic needs in order for them to be successful. We value positive home school relationships and welcome parents to be involved in their child's education.
