Congratulations
Students from The Academy Charter School shared an exceptional opportunity to volunteer their time and talents with members of the community through an afternoon at The Blessing Board. This organization helps families improve their quality of life by providing necessary furniture and household goods free of charge. The Blessing Board serves families who have been victims of home fires or domestic violence, as well as single parents and veterans. Our students volunteered at the supply warehouse where they moved furniture and loaded trucks for the appreciative recipients. They also organized inventory and stocked items on the showroom floor. The volunteer coordinator at The Blessing Board thanked our students for their help and invited them to return to participate in future projects.
Congratulations
Much to be proud of and thankful for this year.

Summit Academy Students Celebrate GED Graduation.
Seventeen young men from Summit Academy celebrated the achievement of earning their GED recently. The official ceremony was celebrated at Butler County Community College’s Succop Theater. Several students called the night an important moment in their lives and said the sense of accomplishment by completing their high school equivalency was awesome. Summit Academy student Vernon J. from Delaware said “Everyone back home was thinking that I wasn’t going to graduate. This is like proving them wrong and trying to do something with my life”.
The Summit Academy offers a comprehensive GED preparation program and is also a licensed testing facility for the GED exam. The program, operates by Summit Academy Teacher Beth Fitzgerald, provides exceptional opportunities and extremely high completion rates for young men whose academic objectives are best met through the pursuit of a GED. These students also receive post-secondary planning services to ensure that college or career training continues after completion of the GED.
Congratulations to all of our students who earned their GED
Summit Academy wishes each of these young men continued success and happiness in the future.
