My name is Elizabeth Smith, and I am honored to serve as the Principal of Millard Hawk Elementary. With 24 years of experience in education, I began my career as an elementary teacher, a role I held for 20 years before transitioning into administration as an assistant principal. I am now proud to lead this incredible school community.

It is a true privilege to welcome you and your children to Millard Hawk Elementary. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment that supports the individual needs of every student. At Millard Hawk Elementary, our goal is to help your children grow academically, socially, and emotionally—while also encouraging them to become respectful, responsible citizens.

We firmly believe that student success is built on strong relationships between families, teachers, support staff, community members, and school leadership. Together, we can make a lasting, positive impact. A strong home-school partnership is key, and we encourage open communication with our staff to support each child’s journey.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for your continued support. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call the school at (315) 668-4310 or email me directly at esmith@cssdapps.org.

With gratitude,

Elizabeth Smith
