Welcome
to this Derby Day edition of High School Highlights; a weekly wrap-up of events, designed especially for high school parents and students at Summit Academy, to help keep you in the know. Last week the Juniors and Seniors danced the night away at the 2nd annual Summit Academy Jr/Sr Prom, which was held at the Sawyer Hayes Center. A good time was had by students, faculty and the parents that joined us! As we round the final turn and head toward the finish line of the 2018-19 school year, there is a lot going on at school. Parents, we hope you can join us at many of these events so that we can show our appreciation for all YOU do!

The theme was "The 80's - It's a Celebration!" and the party lived up to it's name! From the food, to the dj, to the millions of pictures in the photo booth, not to mention the outstanding dance moves, it was a night to remember. Our professional photographer took pictures throughout the night, as well as individual and couples shots, but below are a few amateur shots from the night!
