Hello! My name is Dana Smith and I am thrilled to be the Title 1 Coordinator for Hoosier Academies! This is my eleventh year in education, and my third year at Hoosier Academies. I am married to my sports-loving husband, Shawn! I have a son named Bryce who is 7 years old and in first grade! I absolutely have a passion for teaching and working with kids. Each year, students teach me something more about what it means to be a great educator! My job as a Title 1 Coordinator is to work with Title 1 staff to facilitate the students' learning and do everything we can to ensure that each child is successful. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and doing anything outside! That's me in nutshell! Let's make it a terrific year!
