Summit Academy welding Instructor Brady Kirkwood is proud to announce that five students successfully passed their AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code—Steel certification tests.
The American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 standard governs welding requirements for steel structures and is widely recognized throughout the industry.
Evan B., Jackson M., and Brian S. each earned their 1G certification, demonstrating proficiency in flat position groove welds.
Additionally, Kase M. and Izayah M. earned their second welding certification through our welding program by successfully completing the AWS 2G horizontal groove weld certification. This qualification expands their skills to include both flat (1G/1F) and horizontal (2G/2F) welding positions under the AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code.
These certifications represent an important step toward a valuable trade skill set that will serve these students well in their future careers.
We are proud to recognize Summit Academy’s recent GED graduates — Tristan K., Aiden W., and Brendan L.!
Their hard work, determination, and commitment to their goals have truly paid off. This is an exciting milestone, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for each of them.
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.
