THE SMITHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL MUSEUM
INSIDE THE A.G. GLENN BUILDING

The SHS museum consists of a single preserved classroom where artifacts and all sorts of memorabilia are displayed. Included therein are copies of the school's yearbook, The Shield (1950-1969), as well as copies of the school's newspaper, the High Times (1938-1969). In the hall outside the "history room" is a large display case filled with trophies won by SHS athletes over the years. In addition, more than 40 large "story boards" covering the school's history, with lots of "remastered" old photographs, are mounted on walls lining the halls of the Glenn Building's main floor and the top floor above it.

The museum is open to the public from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday (except school holidays). The reception area is located just inside a newly constructed main entrance that faces a large, paved parking lot on the Second Street side of the building (where the playground used to be).

Visitors are asked to sign in at the reception desk and remain respectful of the building's offices and meeting spaces as administrative employees of Johnston County Schools carry out their daily duties.
