Hello and welcome to R. K. Smith Middle School in Luling where our students, faculty and staff are motivated and excited about learning for life!

Here at Smith we set high expectations for students, faculty and staff that will enable our students to function with success academically in the classroom, as well as socially in society. A high level of character and integrity is expected from all students, faculty and staff.

In addition, our faculty, staff and students are innovative seekers of excellence. We work together to implement effective teaching practices that are engaging and applicable for our students in the classroom and beyond.

Everyone has a job to do at R.K. Smith Middle School, from faculty and staff, to students and parents, to administrators and community stakeholders. As we all continue to pull together, our goal of ever increasing excellence will be met with success.
