Want to learn more about the Summit model?
Many of our community members have requested additional information regarding the Summit Next Generation school model. We have created a content "playlist," which provides a variety of resources detailing our program. If you are interested in learning more about how our enhanced model supports our mission to prepare all students for success in college, career, and life, we encourage you to visit this "playlist" at the following link: http://bit.ly/15Vq4Ai.

Summit Supply Wish Lists
Many parents who are unable to help volunteer at Summit often ask if they can support our teachers in a different way. If you are looking for a way to contribute to your student's grade, here are the lists of supplies that our teachers need by grade level and one for general supplies. By purchasing an item on these lists, you are helping Summit by allowing money for supplies to be spent on other necessities. Several parents have already contributed by signing up, you can, too! Grade Level Ambassadors. As a reminder, this year, the SPOT is led by a small team of Grade Level Ambassadors (see below) - through whom key communications and volunteer designations will be accomplished.

Student Accomplishments

Young RWC Filmmakers Debuted at Fox Theatre - Students from Summit Prep and Everest high schools participated in a local film festival which showcased efforts from young film makers across the globe. Local filmmakers whose entries were shown at the festival included Sean Story, Everest Prep School, Film: "Slum of Dreams," a documentary, and our own Max Sharif, Summit Prep School, Film: Guantanamo Park," a short film. Max's film "Guantanamo Park" was selected as a finalist in the Fresh Takes Film Festival out of over 1,000 film entries. Here is a link to Max's film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQD8G65KaGs.
