Before retiring, I served as an administrator at several schools in Kershaw County. I'm very passionate about our district and I'm happy to serve our students, staff, and my constituents as a school board trustee. Some of my other experiences include serving as an associate superintendent, owner of a health club and veterinary clinic, and as an adjunct professor at the college level. Additionally, I was a middle and high school teacher, and before that I served in the United States Marine Corps. I am married to Wendy (who is a veterinarian), and my children (Charlie and Beth) are grown and "on their own." We are all very close, and I love spending time with family and friends.
In 2019 Dr. Goodwin was named South Carolina Superintendent of the Year.

Dr. Smith has a desire to see that ALL children succeed. Serving on the school board expands his opportunity to be involved in that firsthand. As a husband, father, and pastor, he values the importance of the family, faith, and community support systems that help undergird children and their parents. Attending Kershaw County schools himself and graduating from North Central High School, Dr. Smith experienced how schools play a vital role in strengthening families. This became his life's goal and he continues to pursue it in leading his congregation at St. Paul United Methodist Church in the Knights Hill community. Dr. Smith is a graduate of Coker College with a degree in Sociology. He also earned a Master of Divinity from Erskine Theological Seminary. He later earned a Doctor of Ministry from Chicago Theological Seminary focusing his work on "Forgiveness and Reconciliation That Leads to Healing and Wholeness."
