Summit Academy is always happy to host campus visits as we recognize that collaboration is a critical key to continuous quality improvement. We sincerely appreciate the kind words from this Kern County, California Probation Officer, following his recent visit.
"Just want to send you this email thanking you and your staff for a great visit. You should be very proud of the program you are providing youth who have made some mistakes in life and are working to be better citizens upon their return to our communities. Programs like yours simply “Get It”. I left with only one regret: I do not live in PA, but if I did, it would be an absolute honor to work at Summit."
Thanks so much Robert and we look forward to continuing to do great work with Kern County youth!!!
Well deserved recognition for Coach Sherer from the Pittsburgh Coaches Corner and his former Coach Dan McCann. Congratulations
Hello. I was a student at Summit in 2007. I was just thinking about my time there and I have to say that it helped shape me into the person I have become. Since my departure I had some up's and down's but life has really been shaping up for me and one of the staples was being given the chance to spend my time there. I just wanted to forward my appreciation and thank you. Christopher
It will be extremely difficult to replace the impact that Steve Sherer has on our staff and students every day at Summit Academy. But his 42-year career will serve as a legacy and a model for future coaches and counselors alike. Thank you Mr. Sherer.

Mike White: Never mind the record, Summit Academy’s Steve Sherer was an impactful coach

A big congratulations to our GED graduates who participated in the Butler County Community College Commencement Ceremony. Arthur Stewart, a BC3 instructor and GED instructor at Summit Academy had the honor of addressing the graduates. In his remarks, Art shared, “Everybody here bears witness to the culmination of your achievements. This is a beginning for many of you. The only thing that will hold you back is you. You have achieved your academic goals, but others lie before you." Also addressing his fellow students was Summit graduate, Quentin T.
We are so excited to see what these bright students accomplish next! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
