To pay tribute to all of his HARDWORK and DEDICATION, we want to name the McGavock High School track in honor of Coach Ronnie H. Smith. Coach Smith created a positive impact on so many lives during his 37 years in Metro Nashville Public Schools.

He was instrumental in creating a LEGACY for the track program at McGavock High School. He was part of leading the Boys Track team to multiple State Championships as an Assistant Coach and a Head Coach.

While he was at Tennessee State University, he earned a rank of #4 in the World. Unfortunately, he was unable to participate on the Olympic Team due to a heart condition. The LEGENDARY Coach Ed Temple asked him to be an Assistant Coach for the TSU Tiger-belle Track Team. At that very moment, he decided to be a Track Coach for the rest of his career.

We need your help to name the track to the “Ronnie H. Smith Track”.
