Smithfield-Selma Senior High School is excited to have received authorization to become an IB World School beginning the 2013-2014 school year. It is the first and only school of any sort within Johnston County to become an IB World School. Our IB teachers bring an extensive amount of experience, education, dedication and proven track records to SSHS. The first potential IB graduates come from all over Johnston county and will begin the two-year Diploma Programme in the fall of 2013.
