E.E Smith High School is a wonderful school. What I love the most about E.E Smith is the arts program. They have a very big arts program and I'm am so glad I got to be a part of it. The chorus group has won many competitions and has put on many amazing shows and also the marching band has won many awards over the years for being the best high-step band in North Carolina. They have a very strong Alumni Program where people who graduated from the class of 1966 still give back and give big checks to the schools so the next generations can have better learning and be in a clean environment. The teachers are the best in the world. They really push each kid to Strive for greatness and to become very successful. The Leadership that the schools has and that they build is amazing. Throughout any program from being a leader in sports, in the band, to being an academic leader like being class president is very wonderful. The homecomings are the best any high school could ask for.
EE Smith is a new environment for me and I love it. I came from Texas in 2017 from a traditional high school. When I came to Smith, it was like being in a movie. The cultural arts department is AMAZING! I love being apart of this department, the family atmosphere is like no other and the shows, concerts, and performances we produce make it worth while. Everyone in the department is very dedicated to their abilities and talents and the teachers that aid us in our growth are even more amazing. The cultural arts department is the best thing at the school, subjectively. There's no show choir, arts, drama club, or band/orchestras that I've witnessed at schools that are more dedicated and loving as the ones present in the Smith cultural arts department.
The teachers are wonderful and care about their students' well-being and success, but the school's funding leaves much to be desired. The building is old and in need of renovation, and the surrounding area leaves one feeling unsafe. The city of Fayetteville, in which E.E. Smith High School resides, has an exorbitant crime rate and sweeping poverty, and would greatly benefit from a number of social programs and state funding.
