Staff

Welcome to C.L. Smith Elementary, home of the Superstars! Located in the beautiful coastal community of San Luis Obispo, C.L. Smith is a welcoming neighborhood school where students, families, and staff come together to learn, grow, and shine.

At C.L. Smith, we believe every child deserves to feel known, valued, and a strong sense of belonging. As a Leader in Me Lighthouse School, we empower students to discover their strengths, develop leadership skills, and take ownership of their learning. Through our mission, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where everyone belongs and all students are supported to learn, grow, and lead. Our dedicated staff works together to support the whole child through strong academics, social-emotional learning, and schoolwide systems that help students build positive relationships and develop the skills they need to thrive.

What makes C.L. Smith special is the partnership between our students, staff, families, and community. Together, we celebrate growth, create meaningful experiences, and ensure every Superstar feels connected and supported. It is an honor to serve as the principal of C.L. Smith Elementary. I look forward to partnering with our families as we continue to help every Superstar shine.
