    Hello! My name is Dr. Doretha Smith, and I am honored to be your child's 1st grade teacher! Richmond Hill Elementary is such an amazing school and I feel so blessed to be here to educate your child and support the community!

     

    This will be my 6th year teaching and my 1st year teaching 2nd grade.   During my teaching career, I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, 4th grade, and Middle School  business grades (6th, 7th, & 8th). I was born and raised in the Fort Benning, GA area of Columbus, GA.  I graduated from Saint Martin’s University (B.A.), University of Oklahoma (M.A.) and Capella University (Ph.D.).  I am retired military and retired from the federal government as a Contract Specialist at Fort Gordon, GA. I spend a lot of my time gardening and golfing.

     

    A second-grade education builds on what a child has learned in 1st grade, and also sets the stage for the learning that will take place in the years to come. 1st grade is such a fun grade and I know your child is going to learn so much. Please don't hesitate to contact me! You can reach me at 706.796-4940 or through ClassDojo!

     

    Please encourage your child to work hard and to always do his/her very best! I’m looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year! Together, we will make this a successful year! 

    Sincerely,

     

    Dr. Doretha L. Smith

    2nd Grade Teacher
