Mr. Alex Smith is the theatre teacher and drama director at Silver Spring International Middle School in Montgomery County. A native of Baltimore, Mr. Smith has been acting since he was a middle-schooler himself!
Mr. Smith completed his Master's studies in teaching at Johns Hopkins University in 2018, and he has been working at SSIMS since. In his two years there, he revitalized the middle school Theatre department, tripling enrollment and expanding it from one Beginning and one Advanced Theatre class to a full-time, 5-class course within two years, culminating in three sold-out performances and an unexpected encore show. He cannot wait to share his knowledge and expertise with the teens at HoopEd!
