Culinary Arts Renovations Completed
This summer, our Culinary Arts classrooms received exciting upgrades to better serve our students. The renovations include brand-new stoves and range hoods with fire suppression systems, new flooring, fresh paint, and updated cooking utensils. These improvements create a safer, more modern learning environment where students can explore their passion for culinary arts with professional-grade tools and spaces.

This summer, we made important updates at SHS to create a more inclusive environment for all students. A new space for our Intensive Special Education students now includes direct access to the courtyard, expanded classroom areas, and brand-new kitchen and bath facilities.

These renovations are just one of many steps we're taking to ensure every student has a comfortable and supportive learning environment.

A huge thank you to the volunteers from Bryant U who pitched in with our staff to help prepare our schools for Opening Day -- from cleaning up the Pleasant View courtyard to placing sensory stickers at Old County - your partnership is appreciated! #CommunityPartnerships #OpeningDay #Thankyou @BryantUniv @Bryant.edu @SmithfieldSchs

School starts for students in grades 1-12 on Tuesday, August 26. We are ready to roll! Welcome back to our students & families!

The maintenance crew is hard at work replacing damaged & worn ceiling tiles and painting classrooms. This work will be completed before the start of school on August 26.

Renovations are occurring in the Culinary Arts CTE room this summer. New flooring will be placed and stainless steel stoves and hoods added. The renovation work is required by RIDE to meet the CTE standards and is funded through the capital reserve. A grant has covered the cost of new stoves, hoods, and a dishwasher.

Congratulations to our graduates!

With such talented students and dedicated educators, the Smithfield Public Schools is exploring the creation of a Fine Arts CTE pathway - theater, music, visual arts, & dance. Combining our excellent fine arts programs with industry experts - and offering college credit & real world experience - is how we are continuing to lead the way at SHS. #SmithfieldCTE #ArtsEducation #CreativeCareers #SHSPride #ExpandingtheArts

Showcasing the future of innovation! Our expanded Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs at SHS are in full swing. Students in the Computer Science Pathway are building and programming robots — and this week, Gallagher Middle School students joined in the fun, spending part of their day working hands-on in our high school labs. #SmithfieldCTE #FutureReady #SHSPride #HandsOnLearning #STEM

We’re proud to announce the launch of a brand new Biomedical Engineering Program at SHS — giving students a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of biology, medicine, and technology. This innovative CTE program introduces students to real-world challenges like designing prosthetics, developing medical devices, & understanding the science behind human health. It’s hands-on, forward-thinking, & prepares students for future careers in one of the fastest-growing STEM fields. Our 8th graders recently had the opportunity to visit this new program & participate in a hands-on experiment. #SPSInnovates #STEMEducation #Vision2028 #FutureReady
