Summit High School is a public high school located in Bend, Oregon, United States.

History

Summit High School was the third traditional high school built in Bend, with construction completed in 2001. It joined Mountain View High School, which opened in 1979,[3] Bend High School, which opened in 1904, and Marshall High School, a magnet high school also located in Bend.

Demographics

As of the 2024-2025 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,444 students and 62.37 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 25:1.[2]

In September 2007, the freshman class had about 320 students, a significant increase over the school's other classes, which had fewer than 300 each. The school hired more teachers to keep the numbers of students in each classroom below 30.[4]

Academics

In 2008, 86% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 319 students, 273 graduated, 39 dropped out, four received a modified diploma, and three remained in high school in 2009.[5][6]

Site

Summit High School is located on a 48-acre (190,000 m2) site that includes 30 acres (120,000 m2) of solid ground amid an area which had been mined for pumice since the 1940s (by 1998 the mining had stopped and the land was sold). Another 18 acres (73,000 m2) over a former pumice mine were later bought for athletic fields. Rather than renovate the land so that it would remain stable, the school district decided to fix any problems as they arose. Construction was finished on the campus in 2001, with a total cost of $29.3 million.[7] After a December 2005 storm, the athletic field became riddled with sinkholes, requiring expensive fixes before it was again usable.[8] Additional storm damage occurred in classrooms, the gym, parking lots, and the theater.[7] At the start of the 08-09 year, Summit had finished its new field and turf stadium due in large part to a grant provided by Drew Bledsoe, ex NFL Quarterback and current Offensive Coordinator for the Storm football team.

Solar power

The school installed a 32-panel solar power system in November 2004 that was projected to provide 7,315 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. The project was funded through a grant from the Energy Trust of Oregon.[9]

Mascot

Summit's mascot has changed significantly throughout the high school's brief history. In the school's opening ceremony in 2001, Storm Man was revealed as a Batman look-alike with a large "S" emblazoned on his chest, a lightning bolt in one hand, and a shield in the other. In late 2003, the school changed its mascot to a Thundercat.[citation needed] The official team name is the Storm.

Sports

When Summit High School opened its doors in 2001, it joined the Intermountain Conference as an Oregon School Activities Association 4A classification school. In 2006-07, the OSAA changed from a four-tier (1A-4A) classification system to a six-tier (1A-6A); as part of that reclassification, Summit High School remained in the Intermountain Conference but was then classified as 5A. It has remained a 5A school until the 2018-19 school year where it became part of the 6A classification. In 2022 it was reclassified as a 5A school. It is now a member of the Inter Mountain Conference (IMC), which includes Redmond, Ridgeview, Mountain View, Bend, and Caldera. Their neighbors and rival high schools, Mountain View, Bend, and Caldera High School are also part of the same conference and classification. From school year 2007-2008 through 2017, Summit has averaged more than six state titles every year in the field of athletics. They have won 21 track and field state championships. The school has amassed 107 state titles in just 23 years.

The Summit High School Symphony Orchestra, a collaboration between the school's band and orchestra programs, competed at the State Championships in 2010 and 2018. In the spring of 2014 the Chorale Choir was invited to perform at the State Championships, where it received eighth place. The Chorale, along with the Skyliner Jazz Ensemble, won the choral division of a national heritage festival held in Anaheim, California. [28][29]
