Thanks to our continued partnership with Y108 Pittsburgh, Breackann O. had the exciting opportunity to step inside the world of country radio. From going on-air to exploring the behind-the-scenes operations of a live radio station, Breackann experienced firsthand what it takes to bring a broadcast to life.
During the visit, Breackann also shared her personal journey at New Outlook Academy, speaking about the growth, confidence, and opportunities she has found while attending our school.
Experiences like these help our students discover new interests, build self-confidence, and see the many possibilities that await them beyond the classroom.
A special thank you to Y108 Pittsburgh for once again opening your doors and providing our students with an experience they’ll never forget!



The Empower students at Summit Academy recently enjoyed a fun and engaging off-campus field trip to the Museum of Illusions in Pittsburgh!
Students explored more than 60 interactive exhibits that challenged their senses, sparked curiosity, and revealed the science behind fascinating optical illusions. From mind-bending displays to immersive experiences, there were plenty of opportunities to learn, laugh, and see the world from a whole new perspective.
Experiences like these encourage critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving while creating lasting memories outside the classroom.
At Summit Academy, we are proud to provide meaningful learning opportunities that inspire curiosity and make education come alive!

Students at Summit Academy, recently participated in an interactive medication safety presentation led by Linnay Kirst, Project Coordinator with Keystone Wellness.
During the session, students learned about the importance of using prescription medications safely, understanding warning labels, taking medications only as directed, and the dangers of medication misuse. They had thoughtful discussions about healthy alternatives, ways to support friends who may be struggling, and why medication safety is so important.
The lesson wrapped up with a fun Jeopardy-style quiz game that had all three teams finishing with a perfect score!
We are proud of our students for their outstanding participation, insightful questions, and willingness to engage in meaningful conversations that help build healthy habits and informed decision-making.
Thank you, Linnay and Keystone Wellness, for providing such an impactful learning experience!

Students enjoyed the annual wiffle ball game, bringing plenty of energy, teamwork, and friendly competition to the field. This year’s special guests included Joe Klimchak, in-game host for the Pittsburgh Pirates, along with Jalapeño Hannah, who helped make the afternoon extra fun and memorable.
