Annual Fund

Like most independent schools, Summit depends on private support to bridge the gap between tuition and endowment revenue and yearly educational expenses.  Gifts to the Annual Fund provide about 4.9% of the School's operating budget each year.  Gifts support a variety of programs including faculty development, visual and performing arts, athletics, counseling, technology, and the library.  Gifts to the Annual Fund are a direct investment in our students and faculty, providing exceptional opportunities for learning. 

Please consider supporting Summit with a gift to the Annual Fund. You can make a credit card donation using our on-line giving option, downloadable gift form, or contacting the Development office at 336/724-5811.  Your investment will change the lives of our students!
