    School Profile

    S. 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.

    S. Bruce Smith School prides itself on being on the cutting edge of technology with our wireless network, Chromebooks, G-Suite and SMART boards.

Welcome to S. Bruce Smith School!

Whether you are joining us for the 2026–2027 school year or considering us for the future, we are thrilled to welcome you to our community. At SBS, our culture is defined by two fundamental commitments to ensure every student succeeds:

  • "What’s best for students?" – This single question guides every decision we make, prioritizing student well-being and academic success above all else.

  • A Culture of Belonging – We nurture an inclusive environment where every student feels safe, seen, and valued. We support our students to grow as confident, capable individuals who embrace diversity, practice empathy, and lift one another up.

The STRIVE Standard

For over three decades, SBS has challenged students and staff to STRIVE for excellence. Inspired by our namesake, Mr. Sidney Bruce Smith—who modeled integrity, excellence, and a spirit of service—we ask our community to embody these core values every day:

  • Stewardship & Service

  • Teamwork

  • Responsibility

  • Initiative

  • Vision

  • Excellence

Together, We Are SBS

No one walks alone at S. Bruce Smith School. We are on this learning journey together—celebrating our unique differences, building resilience, and preparing our students to become the leaders and mentors of tomorrow.

I am incredibly honored to support the SBS community, our students, and our families. Let’s make the 2026–2027 school year our best one yet!

Sincerely, 

Ms. Tracy Tucker

Principal, S. Bruce Smith School
