Principal's Message
C.L. Smith is proud to be one of the most diverse campuses in the district. Our school community celebrates and embraces our diversity. Our staff strives to teach understanding and respect of each culture represented on our campus. Each day, our students learn about acceptance and inclusion. At C. L. Smith, we believe our differences bring us together. Each month, we plan to focus on a culture that is represented by families and students of C.L. Smith Elementary in each of our classrooms, including our library.
Mr. Black is a student centered leader who cares deeply for his families, students, and staff. He has two children who attend SLCUSD schools, and a wonderful and understanding wife, all of whom support his endeavors as a school leader.
Together We Shine!
