District Event for Parents Monday Night
Get Your Tickets to BIG FISH
Tickets Now on Sale!


After last year’s acclaimed production of The Prom—winner of the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award for Outstanding Overall Production—Summit High School’s Performing Arts Department is preparing to enchant audiences once again with the inspiring and heartwarming musical Big Fish.


Based on the acclaimed film by Tim Burton and the novel by Daniel Wallace, Big Fish is a fantastical, family-friendly musical that celebrates imagination, family, and the power of stories. Big Fish follows Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman whose larger-than-life stories of giants, witches, and mermaids captivate everyone around him. But his son, Will, about to become a father himself, yearns to uncover the truth behind his father’s tall tales. As Will sets out to untangle fact from fiction, Big Fish explores themes of love, courage, and the search for identity. 


Performances will be held in the Summit High School Auditorium on Wednesday, Feb.25 at 6 pm and Thursday, Feb. 26 through Saturday, Feb.28 at 7 pm. Purchase tickets at https://cur8.com/projects/hilltopper.



Help Us Show Our Staff Some LOVE This Friday!

The Staff Appreciation Committee is hosting another "Stock the Staff Lounge" event for our amazing SHS staff this Friday, Feb. 13.


We're asking you, our parent community, to help show the LOVE by bringing in some sweet treats for the staff to enjoy.


Please sign up for items HERE, and THANK YOU! The staff really loves these events, and it's a great way to thank them for all that they do for our kids every day.

Save the Date: March 10 for Coffee & Conversation With the School Board

This is a great chance to get questions answered and find out more about things like budget, curriculum, etc. 

Interested In Learning More About the School Budget?

Then you should consider attending the BOE meeting on Thursday, Feb. 19 at Summit High School at 6 pm. This is when budget talks start happening, so if you want to know what's being discussed, you'll want to attend in person or watch online!
