Turf is officially being laid at the softball complex, and we’re loving every step of the progress. This project is becoming a reality thanks to the support of our community through the April 2025 bond initiative.

We can’t wait to see our Warriors take the field in this incredible new space. Thank you for investing in our students and supporting the future of the Smithville School District.

Strong Schools. Strong Community. Strong Future.
