ACTIVITY CENTER
GROUNDBREAKING

                  On May 11, 2021, Smithville
                  Board of Education members
                  were accompanied by
                  current Smithville students
                  to officially break ground
                  for our new Activity Center.
                  Located on the northside
                  of our athletic stadium, the
                  Activity Center will provide
                  much needed space for a
                  state of the art weightroom,
                  wrestling room, offices and
                  more.

                  The plan is to have the
                  building enclosed by late-
                  October to allow for interior
                  construction during the winter
                  months.
