Happy end of March and beginning of April! It is crazy how quickly this school year is passing. We are only 37 school days away from our graduation ceremony and the end of the school year. March was a great month with our students being able to see “A Band’s Visit” at the Eccles theater, take the ACT test, parent teacher conferences, and we had a TGIS-N activity, our second annual World Foods taste off. We have more exciting events coming up in April.

We wish him well in his future endeavors in life. If you know less and want to drop him an email of thanks you are welcome to do that.

Summit will be offering summer school again this year. The session will run from June 1-July 1 with classes being held from 8:30am-12:30pm each day but Friday. On Friday’s we will be running our experiential learning activities. These include hikes, museums, and other historical sites around Utah. All of these activities are free of charge to all students and additional credit can be earned by attending. Occasionally the Friday activities run longer than 12:30pm, and notification will be sent to all parents so they are aware of the return time. 

Breakfast and lunch are not provided during summer school except on Friday’s when activities may run long. If you want to register your student for our summer school program please visit our website at
