Summit High School
Michael Andrus, Principal
Beginning with the
2008-09 school year, all high schools in the Fontana Unified School District
will start school in August. A.B. Miller, Fontana, Kaiser, Summit,
Birch and Citrus High Schools will all start school on August 11, 2008, and
end on June 1, 2009. The District wants you to know about this change
now, so you can plan for summer vacations and activities in 2008.
By starting school on August 11, 2008: Opening in Fall 2006, Summit High School is the newest of Fontana Unified School
District's four comprehensive high schools.
It has a total enrollment of approximately 2554 students from diversified backgrounds:
65.8% Hispanic, 11.3%
White/Non-Hispanic, 16.3% African-American, and 6.6% other ethnic backgrounds The Summit
Branch Public Library is located on the Summit High School campus. My staff and I have spent an enormous amount of time this spring and summer
furnishing the rest of the school and hiring new staff to assist with the
addition of 12th grade. Not only have we have added six advanced placement (AP)
classes, but our elective line-up now includes automotive technology, virtual
business, advanced choir, color guard, culinary arts, as well as an expanded
drama program. We will also be adding ceramics to our second semester elective
lineup. We are currently working on Regional Occupational Program (ROP) courses
with an instructor already hired for computer aided drafting and Careers in
Marketing and Retail Sales. We are also searching for an instructor for Medical
Front Office training. We have added 28 additional teachers and one counselor.
Fifteen members of our new teaching staff came from other districts; the
remainder were transfers from other schools within the Fontana Unified School
District. We are offering 3 Zero Period classes that start one hour before
regular school starts. Our counselors have instituted academic award ceremonies as well as criteria and
guidelines for the California Scholarship Federation and other academic
recognitions. Band camp, ASB Leadership training, sports teams, yearbook camp, cheer camp,
link crew and peer leadership are just a few of the activities that happened
last summer and that continue as our year progresses. One of the most important
aspects of high school life is to ensure that everyone feels connected. My staff
and I have made every effort to try and help you to make that connection. Students are encouraged to find an activity which they are passionate about, by
connecting with the person or people who are involved with that activity. For
example, we encourage our ninth grade students to participate with our “link
crew”. “Link Crew” is a group of older students whose function is to link our
new students with the school. With a fully dedicated staff, over 50 sports teams
and 50 club offerings at Summit High School, I would like to think that we offer
something for everyone. Our mission is to educate each and every student to better prepare him or her
for the world beyond Summit High School. Our staff is here to see that happen,
and it will happen with your support. Our 2006-07 School Accountability Report Card is available online. (Oprima aquí para español).
