More Great Learning Opportunities Coming to Summit!
- Drone Flight School is coming to in 22-23 as an elective! This new elective will work on building, flying, and programming drones. Students will learn the basics of flight, FAA regulations, and more. Students will have the opportunity to fly drones indoors and outside in windless conditions. We will have obstacles and more to perfect their flying skills. Students will also earn their FAA TRUST license, required for flying drones.
- We have a Japanese Exploratory Language elective that will be offered all four quarters to begin in the fall. Our new teacher, Miss Chanpraphap, will be the instructor.
- We will also offer a class on American Sign Language as an elective. This will be taught by Mrs. Mauermann.
- Mr. Preston and Dr. Nardi will be team-coaching a middle school team of students as they work on HUNCH Prototype and Design 2022. HUNCH (High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware) is a high school level opportunity, but Summit students have been invited to participate and we are already set up with our NASA mentor. Mr. Preston is a perfect choice to coach as he attended a NASA Space Camp for educators in 2013. This opportunity will take place in enrichment time during the school day. A cap on team size may be determined at a later date.
Spread the word! Summit's offerings are growing and we are eager to meet the needs and interests of our students.
