Keeping Music Alive and Well
Our Mission
The Summit High School Friends of Music fund student scholarships, instruments, travel expenses, uniforms and the many needs of the school Music Department. This not only improves our community quality of life, but further empowers, energizes and educates our students in the enjoyment of the arts.
What We've Achieved
Friends of Music funds make a real difference for the music programs at Summit—every year!
2018–2019 School Year
Purchased a set of professional-quality practice pads from local company, Offworld Percussion, for the percussion class.

The piano will primarily be used for choir concerts and other choral events, but will also occasionally make an appearance at band and orchestra concerts, as well as at community performances held in the Summit auditorium.
