Dr. Tess Smith
Principal Mentoring Specialist
Dr. Tess Smith has spent most of her life in and around the classroom. She began her teaching career at Oak Grove High School as an ELA teacher. After obtaining her master's degree in counseling she worked as a counselor at Oak Grove High School and later Oak Grove Middle School. Tess was raised to love education. She strives to learn something new each day. As she continued to work with students and staff at Oak Grove, she pursued a specialist and later a doctorate degree in school administration. She was principal at Oak Grove Middle School and later Sumrall High School. She will tell you that she did not pick the superintendency, that she was placed on that path when the board of the Lamar County School District appointed her. Ironically, she was elected two times and appointed two times. She served the Lamar County School District as superintendent for just over six years giving her more than 28 years in the district that raised her. Dr. Smith retired from the Lamar County School District in 2020. She now spends her time teaching at the University of Southern Mississippi, enjoying her family, and all things outdoors.
