Summit Support 2022-2023
Summit Support is our annual publication illustrating the impact of your gifts to Summit. Thank you for your support of inspiring learning.
For 90 years Summit School has stayed the course toward our true north: What founding head of school Louise Futrell described as “a dream school where everybody could be a somebody.” Your support of Summit is reflected in our unique culture of philanthropy in which parents, grandparents, alums, past parents, friends, and community members partner to develop the full potential of every child.
Your generosity makes possible the timely and timeless programs that cultivate in our students the confidence to be curious–a confidence built on a foundation of competence. Summit students are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and understandings to create their future.
You understand philanthropy in its deepest and most enduring sense. Your love of Summit makes possible learning that lasts a lifetime—every day for every child.
What an extraordinary gift! Thank you.
Michael J. Ebeling
Head of School
Dear Summit Community,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for your support during the 2022-2023 school year. The Summit School community steps up for Every Eagle, Every Day to support all of our vitally important fundraising efforts. Your generosity supports the limitless possibilities Summit has to develop strong educational foundations that lead to endless exploration and curious minds. Summit’s curriculum and programming inspire students every day and have for 90 years and counting.
As many of you know, tuition covers only a portion of the cost of a Summit education. The remainder is covered through an annual draw from our endowment, as well as gifts to The Summit Fund and other fundraising initiatives. I have been truly inspired by the Summit community’s generosity of time, talent, and treasure. This generosity has been evident at Summit for nine decades and our continued philanthropic spirit and generosity will ensure a sustainable future for our beloved school.
Thank you for all you do for Summit School!
Sandlin M. Douglas ’94
Chair, Summit School Board of Trustees
Thank you!

Named Endowment Funds
Summit’s endowment funds, established in 1959, have grown to more than $16.5 million and generate $800,000 annually for the operating budget. Gifts to the endowment enable Summit to respond quickly to needs and allow the school to be innovative.

Thanks to more than three hundred friends of Summit School for generously supporting the “Party Like It’s 1933!” Gala. Because of their tremendous collective generosity, we raised nearly $400,000 for the school, surpassing our fundraising goal and eclipsing our previous record set in 2021.
This year’s gala, which took place on Saturday, March 18, 2023, was a joyous celebration of the 90th anniversary of Summit School. Parent volunteers transformed the Athletic Center into an elegant evening for the Party Like It’s 1933! Theme. A robust silent and live auction, dinner by FLIK, and dancing to the band Queen Bee and the Honeylovers brought together Summit families, past, present, and future, for a remarkable evening.
The enduring success of Summit School is a testament to Louise Futrell and her vision of building a school where “everybody can be a somebody.” Thanks to everyone for the multitude of ways you supported this incredible evening.
