Welcome to Philip R. Smith Elementary School —

About Us

The PRS Community makes it a priority to collaborate, support, and work as a team so that all are successful, engaged, and find the joy in learning everyday. 

We believe the PRS Community:

  • maintains and fosters a caring environment based on rigorous standards, respect and good will.

  • celebrates and values individual strengths and achievements and motivates students to actively participate in their learning.

  • cultivates reflective problem solvers responsive to their environment, and critical thinkers who incorporate challenging, real world experiences.
