Smith Elementary is named in honor of Margaret Mendenhall Smith, a trailblazing Denver educator. Born in London, Smith moved to Denver and dedicated 48 years of her life to the city's children as both a teacher and a principal. Her commitment to lifelong learning remains the foundation of our school today.
We are proud to be a true neighborhood school in the North Park Hill community. Our campus is a central landmark in a neighborhood known for its diverse history, tree-lined streets, and strong sense of local pride.
While the city around us has changed, Smith Elementary remains a steady home for Denver’s scholars and we are excited to keep serving the stars of tomorrow!
