Some positive encouragement for our Summit Academy Knights Football team.
Keep you heads up boys,,,,it not the “W’s” that define a team, but how you face adversity. Every year we start with a new group of kids that have little experience and field a team that competes in the WPIAL Conference. This year is the 1st team since 2019 to take the field since COVID.
AWESOME ALUMNI ALERT
We are incredibly proud of Summit Academy alumni Zach Loomis. He recently shared that he has been working with a successful landscape company and assisting with a lawn care crew.
The pictures speak for themselves as he and his team clearly do great work.
Congrats Zach – we wish you continued success in your career and in all you do!!!

FOOTBALL SEASON IS UPON US
After missing the 2020 football season due to the pandemic, the Summit Knights are nearly ready to kick off the 2021 season.
After weeks of conditioning and practice, Summit opened the season with a scrimmage against Riverside on August 21st. Many of our first-time players took this opportunity to practice new skills and plays against a live opponent.
The team is now preparing for their season opener against Avonworth on Friday, August 27th at 7:00pm.
Let’s go Knights!
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS BUILD CHARACTER
Summit Academy students recently participated in a community service project with Freeport Renaissance Association. This community-based organization strives to make the local business district more aesthetically appealing, improve the riverfront area, restore historic buildings and develop a community center. Our young men provided landscaping services, including mulching, weeding flower beds and trimming trees. Everyone was pleased with the outcome of their hard work. #givingbackfeelsgood
Long overdue post for this young man who is now an awesome alumnus… Zach L. displays his big catch, which is believed to be the largest catch in Summit fishing competitions. Great memories.
Andrew B. (Monongalia, WV) proudly shows off his big catch at the local fishing pond. With warmer temps and continued COVID-19 restrictions, fishing is a great recreational outlet for the boys.
Zach G. (Allegheny Co.) was recently hired with JW Steel in Mars, PA. as a Welder. Trades Instructors, Anthony Ross and Brady Kirkwood,visited Zach at his job site and he proudly provided them with a tour of the building. While at Summit Academy, Zach earned his AWS D1.1 certificate and will be taking his next welding test through JW Steel. Zach also earned his GED at Summit Academy. WE are so proud of Zach and wish him the best of luck in his career!
