We are proud to recognize Summit Academy’s recent GED graduates — Tristan K., Aiden W., and Brendan L.!

Join us in congratulating these incredible young men on their accomplishment!
The Summit Academy Knights took the field against the Rochester Rams and, while the final score didn’t fall in our favor, there’s so much to be proud of.
This group continues to grow—not just as players, but as teammates. With every inning, you can see the communication, the effort, and the commitment to one another getting stronger.
Wins will come, but what’s being built right now is something even more important—a true team. Keep working, keep believing, and keep showing what it means to be a Knight.
Through the Young Writers program, students were invited to explore the world of crime and mystery by responding to the creative writing prompt “Unsolved.” Each student crafted a “mini saga” — a complete story told in just 100 words — challenging them to think critically, write creatively, and captivate their audience in a limited space.
From choosing unique perspectives like suspects, witnesses, or forensic scientists, to deciding whether to solve the mystery or leave readers on the edge of their seats, our students truly embraced the art of storytelling.
We are excited to announce that four Summit Academy students have been selected for publication in Unsolved: Deceptive Tales, scheduled for release on April 25, 2026! 
Congratulations to Corbin M., Evan B., Justin I., and Zayvious H. on this incredible accomplishment. Your hard work, imagination, and dedication have earned you a place as published authors — we couldn’t be more proud!

The Summit Academy mindfulness class took learning outdoors, taking full advantage of the beautiful 71-degree weather!
Students gathered in a peaceful green space across from the school, where they practiced deep breathing, yoga “tree pose,” and mindful walking. They explored nature by noticing patterns in trees, moss, and leaves—fully engaging with their surroundings.
The experience brought a noticeable boost in mood, with students sharing that they felt refreshed, calm, and more focused. Even better, they were able to reflect on the mindfulness skills they can continue using in their daily lives.
A great reminder of the power of nature, movement, and simply being present.
Today, our Summit Academy students participated in a meaningful community service project at Succop Nature Park in Butler, PA. They worked hard helping with light landscaping and mulching, contributing to a cleaner, more inviting space for everyone in the community to enjoy.
We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication, teamwork, and positive attitude throughout the project. Their efforts not only make a difference in the park but also demonstrate the values of service and community that Summit Academy strives to instill.
We look forward to many more opportunities to give back and make a lasting difference in our community!

HANDS-ON LEARNING: SUMMIT ACADEMY STUDENTS DIVE INTO DISSECTION! Summit Academy biology students recently had the opportunity to dissect a sheep’s eye, giving them a hands-on look at the structures that make vision possible. The activity brought science to life, and students were fully engaged—asking questions, making discoveries, and diving right in. Experiences like this spark curiosity and excitement, showing that learning isn’t just in the classroom—it’s alive, interactive, and unforgettable!
The Mindfulness class explored music as a way to practice being present and connected. Mindfulness is an evidence-based therapeutic modality that helps individuals become more aware of the present moment and learn to better manage their reactions to stressful situations.
Students began with breathing exercises before learning the basics of drumming in a drum circle, including technique, rhythm, and group signals. They practiced following beats, freestyled rhythms, and even took turns creating a beat for the class to follow. Students also experimented with boomwhackers and other instruments to build harmonies and continue the group rhythm.
The session ended with reflection and a final group drumming activity focused on connection and mindfulness. Students were engaged, respectful, and exceeded behavioral expectations throughout the class.
