Smithfield Middle School

Please join us in welcoming our newest Assistant Principal -- Ms. Sierra Jackson!

Last school year, Ms. Jackson served at Smithfield Middle School as an Instructional Coach, working alongside our teachers and students every day. We're looking forward to Ms. Jackson taking on this new role!

A message from Ms. Jackson:

I am excited to serve as an Assistant Principal at Smithfield Middle School and to be a part of such a dedicated school community. With over a decade of experience in education, I have served as a math teacher, instructional coach, mentor, and principal intern. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from North Carolina A&T State University and a Master of School Administration from Fayetteville State University. My passion is helping students and teachers reach their full potential by building strong relationships, supporting growth, and creating a positive school culture where everyone feels valued. I believe that when students feel supported, challenged, and connected, they are empowered to achieve great things both inside and outside the classroom.

Last night, May 12, 2026, we were honored to have Mr. Jason Spivey, a junior at Smithfield-Selma High School, lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the Board of Education Meeting.

Jason has become a familiar and inspiring presence within the school community. For the past three years, he has proudly served as the voice of the Special Olympics Spring Games, bringing enthusiasm and energy to this celebrated event. Before joining the high school, Jason was well known at Smithfield Middle School for leading the Pledge of Allegiance each morning with pride and confidence.

As an original member of the Unified Track team, Jason continues to demonstrate determination, perseverance, and school spirit in all that he does. His positive attitude and commitment to giving his very best serve as an inspiration to those around him.

If you ask Jason, two of the things he looks forward to the most are leading Special Olympics activities each year, and celebrating an important milestone next year as he graduates from high school alongside his twin brother, Donnie.

Jason Spivey is a star among stars and has a promising future ahead.

Today was a special day at Smithfield Middle School! The Class of 2026 at Smithfield-Selma High School participated in the annual Senior Walk. Graduating seniors got to walk the halls again and see their former teachers while also inspiring our Knights to one day do the same thing they’re doing!

Congratulations, Seniors! We are so proud of you and wish you all the best on your future endeavors! 🎓

Spirit Week Day 5 - “Our Future is Bright!”

Field Day!! Students were encouraged to wear hats and sunglasses as they participated in several different activities outside. We could not have asked for better weather!

We want to give a huge shoutout to our Enrichment Team for their help, especially to Ms. Barnes and Mr. Rader for setting everything up. Also, we would like to thank our volunteers from Grace Community of Smithfield for hanging out with us!

Our Knights had a blast and are ready to take on their EOGs this week!
