Executive Director's Message

Dear Husky Families,
We hope everyone has a restful and safe holiday week with family and friends. We look forward to seeing everyone after we have all had time to rest and relax with loved ones.  Save the Date - Justin Semana Memorial Basketball Tournament Dec 6th!
This week, we are commemorating the life of Justin Semana, a Summit Rainier 11th grade student who unexpectedly passed away last year on November 19th, 2013. Justin was a wonderful and caring member of The SPS community, and we felt a deep loss with his passing. For those of you who did not know Justin, there are some loving tributes here and here.
Justin loved playing basketball and was on the Summit Rainier boys basketball team. As part of his commemoration, SPS will be hosting our first annual Justin Semana Memorial Basketball Tournament. It will be a varsity boys basketball tournament across all five Summit high schools (Summit Rainier, Tahoma, Everest, Prep, and Shasta) in Justin's honor. Everyone across all Summit schools is invited to attend and celebrate his life and the community he loved.
We are also looking for parents to volunteer and with the day. If you are interested, please visit this Signup Genius. Below you may find more details about the event:
