Community Coordinator

Meet the Community Outreach Coordinator

Hi there, my name is Chandra Smith, and I am thrilled to be part of the Genesee Community. I grew up here as a child and moved back in 2019 with my husband and two children. I have been with Genesee Schools since 2021. When Genesee became a Community School, I eagerly stepped into the role of Community Outreach Coordinator. I am here to support our students, families and community as best as I can. If you have questions, ideas or would like information about resources, please reach out. I am looking forward to serving this community! Go Bulldogs!
