McDonogh Mourns Paul E. Smith, Former Teacher/Coach
Paul Everett Smith, McDonogh School physical education
teacher and coach from 1974 to 1990 and the first African
American member of the school's faculty, passed away on
September 3, 2012.
Paul's commitment to McDonogh's PE department was
substantial. He created programs for Lower School students,
as well as fifth and sixth graders. Paul also coached JV
football and Middle School basketball for 12 years. He was
perhaps best known for coaching the varsity basketball team
for 16 years, during which time his record was 236 wins and
135 losses. His teams won the MSA-B Conference championship
a total of six times. In addition, Paul won the Coaches
Sportsmanship Award and was selected three times as Coach of
the Year by The Baltimore Sun. In 2001, he was inducted into
McDonogh's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Paul also coached at Sidwell Friends, Dunbar High School,
Pikesville High School, Towson University, and Western Tech,
where he reached his milestone 400th career win in 2007.
Former Associate Headmaster and colleague Hugh Burgess
wrote, "During his career at McDonogh, Smith exercise[d] his
profound gift for relating to students on a personal level
and inspired athletes to do their best."
The family will receive friends on Thursday, September 6,
from 4 to 7 p.m. at Howell Funeral Home, 4600 Liberty
Heights Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21207. A wake will be held on
Friday, September 7, at 10 a.m., followed by funeral
services at 11 a.m. at Douglas Memorial Community Church,
1325 Madison Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21217.
Condolences may be sent to Paul's daughter, Kristen
Smith, at the following address:
3944 Queen's Lace St.
Pikesville, MD 21208
