A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL GALVIN
Dear Summit Families,
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and Board of Directors, it is my honor to welcome you to
Summit for the 2024-25 school year. Our school mission of rigorous academics sets high
expectations for effort and achievement and calls us to be a caring community, which fosters
self-esteem and instills a lifelong love of learning. As such, our talented teachers and
administrators have been seeking new knowledge and preparing exciting new learning
opportunities over the summer. We are so excited to see all our students again and to have
them reunite with friends and classmates.
My Summer began with my son Leland’s graduation from Fairview, which was held on the
CU Campus where he will be matriculating to the CU Aerospace Engineering program this
Fall. We are so happy to have him close to home since our daughter is so far away at the
University of Hawaii.

Looking ahead to an exciting new school year, we will welcome a number of talented new
faculty all of whom are featured in our newsletter. This year like all others past, 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 amazing students. I cannot wait to be there
for many magical moments of learning and growth as I enter my fourteenth year as a school
leader at this incredible school.

We are all so excited to be approaching another campus milestone as we Design Futures for
our school community. A successful future for our students starts today, with a bold vision
for expanding the impact of a Summit education. Our goal is to prepare students for their
future as professionals in any career they choose as well as to provide innovative
opportunities to apply academic rigor. For years we have taught 21st Century Skills
through collaborative projects, knowledge sharing, learning by doing, and community
connections. Now we intend to bring our Career and Technical Education (CTE) and
applied learning offerings to the next level by opening a new CTE Learning Community in
2026. Stay tuned to the latest Summit Building Project Information.

strengthens community, and puts student learning and well-being ahead of all else.
