Jason Smith

Jason Smith begins his tenth season as head coach of the Brewster Academy boys' basketball team.  Smith is anxiously looking forward to the 2009-10 season and maintaining the Bobcats spot as a top program in New England and a consistent contender for the New England Preparatory School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC) Class A title, as well as a National Prep School Championship.  Brewster has advanced to the National Final Four in each of the past two seasons.

Under Smith’s direction, the Brewster Academy program has enjoyed tremendous success over the past eight years.  The team has qualified for eight consecutive NEPSAC Class A tournaments and have finished ranked in the top 10 nationally in each of those seasons.  During the past nine years, his record stands at 191-85 (.692 %).

During Smith’s tenure, the program has sent 63 student-athletes to NCAA Division I programs and many others to NCAA DII and DIII programs. 

At the young age of 19, Coach Smith founded his own summer basketball program (Elevation Basketball Club), which placed young men at prestigious colleges and universities, including Dartmouth College, the University of Virginia, Amherst College, Syracuse University, The Citadel, Boston University, and the College of William and Mary. 

Coach Smith spent the 1995-96 campaign as an assistant coach at Plymouth State College (NH) and helped lead the team to the school’s first-ever NCAA DIII bid.

He was named the head varsity coach at Pittsfield High School in New Hampshire at the age of 22. After 1 year as the head coach at Pittsfield, he elected to learn under the late Frank T. Monahan, a former NBA scout and college head coach, as his assistant coach at Bishop Brady High School (NH).  The team spent most of the 1997-98 season ranked as the #1 team in New England. He also has held assistant coaching positions at his former high school, Merrimack Valley (NH), Proctor Academy (NH), and Notre Dame Preparatory School (MA).

Coach Smith works in the Admission Office as Associate Director.
