Students in Mr. Viebrock’s Tractor Power class kicked off their small engines unit today. They began by making sure each engine would start before disassembly. Next, students will take the engines apart, learn how each component works, and then reassemble them—building real-world mechanical skills. 🔧

Here’s a look back at the 2007 Smithville High School women's choir group photo. A snapshot of a year full of practices, performances, and plenty of time spent in the choir room.
Do you recognize any of these choir members?

Today we’re rewinding to 2007, when the Smithville FFA and Library Club gathered for their group photos—two very different crews, but all with the same warrior pride. Whether they were tending projects or turning pages, these students knew how to make their mark.
Do any of these friendly faces look familiar?

Throwing it all the way back to 2002, when creativity took over the school parking lot! This student got hands-on with chalk for his Understanding Literature class, turning the pavement into a canvas of ideas and expressions. 📚✍️

Throwing it back to 1986 when the Smithville pom-pom squad posed for a team photo—big smiles, bigger hair, and that unmistakable ’80s school spirit. Some moments never go out of style!

Back in 2002, a Smithville High School senior was putting in the work during weights class — curling the bar and building strength one rep at a time.
Did you ever take weights in high school?

"Kevin deserves a HUGE shout out from Maple Elementary because he spent a majority of a morning fixing our building laminator. Most people wouldn't realize the outrageous costs associated with servicing a machine like that, but those kinds of repairs can really drain a school's budget. Our laminator is a necessity to making sure students projects and awards are preserved and is used multiple times throughout the school day. We truly appreciate that Kevin was willing to use his skills and knowledge for the benefit our entire school!"

"Rochelle is the type of teacher you want for your own child. She comes in each day and meets each student where they are. Her love and grace, which she extends to every student, are evident in her class family. She has created an incredible class community where every student is heard and seen, not just by her, but by one another. Her ELA lessons are incredibly creative and engaging. She took on a challenging unit, such as poetry, and transformed her classroom into a coffee shop where students could share their creations. Each day, her lessons bring the text to life for her students. For these reasons and many more, Rochelle Sinclair is truly an Ultimate Warrior!"
