Overview[edit]
E. O. Smith serves the towns of Ashford, Mansfield, and Willington, which together make up Connecticut's Regional School District #19. E.O. Smith also serves students from nearby Columbia.
Students from surrounding towns such as Coventry and Windham may also attend E. O.

Originally part of the University of Connecticut campus, owned by the state, and operated by the university, it has been operated as a regional public school since 1987. In 1993 the town of Willington was added to the region served by the school.
The current principal is Dr. Louis DeLoretto.
