Mrs. Sydney Smith
Hello! My name is Sydney Smith and I am honored to be a part of the Fairhope West Elementary family. Before coming to Fairhope, I was a 3rd grade teacher at Belforest Elementary, principal at Thomasville Elementary, assistant principal at Thomasville High School, 1st and 3rd grade teacher at Thomasville Elementary, and a 1st grade teacher at Grove Hill Elementary. I love what I do!
I grew up in Thomasville, Alabama and am a proud graduate of Thomasville High School. I attended the University of West Alabama and received an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Instructional Leadership.
We have 2 children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. Our son, Josh, works in the family business and our daughter, Taylor Simpson, is the owner of Sydney Elizabeth Cookies and a stay-at-home mom to 2 beautiful boys. We are blessed!
I love spending time with our family and friends, cooking, baking, reading, and spending time on the water. Russ and I are avid football fans and enjoy nothing more than a good tailgate or simply watching the game with family and friends. Roll Tide!!! We also attend 3 Circle Church.
As an educator, I am dedicated to providing students with a safe, engaging, and loving learning environment in which they are encouraged to take risks and reach their fullest potential. It is Fairhope West’s belief that everyone can be a leader. We are committed to empowering students with the leadership and life-skills needed to be highly effective. Go Pirates!
