Welcome to South Mountain School, home of the Superstars!  SMS is unique in the district in that it is one school with two separate locations:  the Big School and the Annex.  The Big School houses grades 2-5, while the Annex contains our kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms.  Despite our two locations, SMS operates as a single superstar community!
