Bruce Smith School was named after Sidney Bruce Smith who was an Edmonton lawyer and judge.  He served as a trustee on the Edmonton Public School Board from 1937 to 1941, and as district solicitor from 1945 - 1955.  For over half a century, Mr. Smith and his family lived in the west end of the city, near the area where S. Bruce Smith School is now located.

    S. Bruce Smith School was established in 1991 and is a well equipped, spacious and friendly facility which provides a full junior high program.

Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Students:

As S. Bruce Smith celebrates 30 years of nurturing student success, I am excited and grateful to join the S. Bruce Smith team working alongside students, staff and parents in an endeavor to continue to build upon what is already an amazing legacy of learning. 

As you join us this school year, I would like you to know of two fundamental commitments we have in an effort to ensure our students succeed. The first is our commitment to the question, “What’s best for students?” It is this question that guides our work and our decision-making to support student success and well-being. Secondly, please know you are entering a school that values kindness and is committed to nurturing students so they grow not only as learners, but as confident, caring, capable individuals who embrace and value responsibility, diversity and kindness in a way that not only affords them individual success, but allows students the opportunities to learn in a safe environment so they can become the leaders and mentors of tomorrow.

Although we enter this school year after months of challenge, uncertainty and change, we do so together. And it is together that we will make each day the best it can be, celebrating our successes and lifting one another up because no one is alone at S. Bruce Smith. We are on this learning journey together. Through its 30 years of serving students, S. Bruce Smith has asked students and staff to Strive to be their best each and every day. Some days this may seem a tall order, but there is no doubt that together we can continue to help each other reach this goal, be resilient and know that one another is cared for and capable each and every day.

I look forward to the 2021-2022 school year, and I am excited and honoured to support the S. Bruce Smith community, its students and families.

Sincerely,

Mr. Glen Wilcox
