On behalf of the faculty, staff, and Board of Directors, I am honored to welcome you to Summit for the 2025-26 school year. Our school's mission of rigorous academics sets high expectations for effort and achievement and calls us to be a caring community, which fosters self-esteem and cultivates a lifelong love of learning. Over the summer, our talented teachers and administrators have been seeking new knowledge and preparing exciting learning opportunities. We even enjoyed a faculty retreat at Cal-Wood recently! We are thrilled to see all of our students again and to have them reconnect with friends and classmates.

Looking ahead to an exciting new school year, we will welcome several talented new faculty members, all of whom are featured in this newsletter. Like every year before, our inspiring faculty, wise administration, and dedicated staff will bring our mission of academic rigor and our values of a caring community to life with our remarkable students. I look forward to witnessing many magical moments of learning and growth during my fifteenth year as a school leader at this incredible school.

We are all very excited about the success of our Design Futures initiative as our new learning community takes shape right before our eyes. We anticipate opening the new wing on time at the start of the second semester; it looks fantastic so far. Thank you all so much for your generous financial support!

There is much to look forward to this school year, including many special announcements this Fall, so stay tuned. As always, my top priority is to lead the school in a way that promotes trust, strengthens community, and prioritizes student learning and well-being. Summit Middle School provides the resources each child needs to succeed in all aspects of school life: social, emotional, and intellectual. Please join us in our efforts to maintain a high-quality school and academic program where children grow and achieve to the best of their ability and potential.

Sincerely,

Adam Galvin
