Red Smith is a 4K through 8th grade school with a growing population of approximately 1000 students. Located on the eastern shores of the Bay of Green Bay, Red Smith is centered in one of the fastest growing communities in the area. The school is named in honor of Pulitzer Prize winning American Sportswriter Walter Wellesley Smith (1905-1982), also known as “Red” Smith, who was born in Green Bay a
nd graduated from East High School, the original home site of the Green Bay Packers. Smith watched the Packers play their first game at City Stadium in 1919. Their continued success inspired him to write about the love of football from a spectator’s viewpoint and later became one of the most widely-read sports columnists. Red Smith Raptors share in the pride that “Red” portrayed throughout his own life. Red Smith School has a strong parent network.
