Summit High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Summit, in Union County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the lone secondary school of the Summit Public Schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1934.[3]

The school was opened in 1888 due to an increased need for a publicly operated secondary school within the City of Summit. The school's athletic teams are referred to as the Hilltoppers, though the school's actual mascot is a mountain goat wearing a Summit High School athletic jersey. The school's colors are maroon, white and gold, although for most of its history they were maroon and white.[2]

As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,201 students and 96.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.4:1. There were 143 students (11.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 50 (4.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Facilities

The school was originally located in a building constructed in the 1920s on Morris Avenue between Maple and Elm Streets near downtown Summit. It shared this building with the junior high school until 1936, when Edison Junior High School opened in east Summit. However, a number of parents outside of east Summit—then called "Deantown"—objected to their children traveling to this section of the city. By 1943, the new junior high school had closed and the high school again shared the Morris Avenue building with the junior high school. (The building still houses the junior high school, now known as Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School.)

In 1962, the high school relocated to a larger, more modern facility located at 125 Kent Place Boulevard, slightly outside of downtown Summit and within the Washington Elementary School district. In the late 1990s, a push was made to renovate the outdated high school. From 2000 until 2003, the high school building underwent a series of renovations, including the construction of a new media center, cafeteria, gymnasium, and science laboratories. Special attention was also paid to upgrading the building's existing facilities and to increasing the information technology capacities of classrooms.

Athletic facilities

Athletic field at night.
  • The Metro Homes Sports Complex, better known as Tatlock Field, one of the biggest fields in the county, located on Butler Parkway (a short distance from the high school), is used as Summit High School's main venue for football, men's lacrosse, and track and field. In the early 2000s the field was converted to FieldTurf due to frequent problems with poor field conditions. A grant was made by the Metro Homes Corporation, and the football stadium has been renamed Metro Homes Field. Tatlock also includes a field house with locker room facilities and practice fields adjacent to Washington Elementary School. Junior varsity and middle school tennis practices at the four tennis courts adjacent to the track complex.
  • Memorial Field is located a short drive from the high school on Larned Road near the Brayton School this large public field (currently operated by the Board of Recreation) is used for soccer, cross country, baseball and softball. This field complex is also used extensively by Summit's youth sports programs. Varsity and junior varsity tennis matches are played at the new eight-court complex next to the Brayton School. It is also the only field that has been sold out in the town's history, when the varsity played on it, before the HS Upper Field was being rebuilt. Around 67 people came to watch that game. Since then, Summit has brought in big crowds.
  • Warinaco Rink, located in Warinaco Park in Elizabeth is shared by Summit High School, Westfield High School, Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark, and Cranford High School as a home hockey venue. The Summit High School hockey team also uses several other local rinks for practice and has hosted home games at the newer, smaller Union Sports Arena, also located in Union Township.
  • Summit High School Gymnasium, the high school's main gymnasium, is used to host men's and women's basketball as well as volleyball. The high school's second (newer) gymnasium used primarily as a practice facility.
  • Summit High School Lower Field, located directly behind the high school, is used for field hockey, women's lacrosse, and physical education classes.
  • Buntin and Hurst Pools, located at the Summit YMCA in downtown Summit, these facilities are utilized by the men's and women's swimming teams.
  • Summit High School Upper Field, located directly behind the high school, is used for boys' JV and varsity soccer, and lacrosse. It was being rebuilt into a FieldTurf.

Extracurricular activities

The drama club has been extremely successful. In 2006 the Spring Musical "Les Misérables (musical)" sold out virtually every night and was so successful that the company put on an extra performance. This was the first year Summit High School participated in the Rising Star program and it was nominated for twelve Rising Star awards. In 2007, the spring musical was Titanic, which sold out almost every performance. Anne Poyner, the director, entered the production into the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards, a statewide competition of excellence in New Jersey high school musicals.

Administration

Core members of the school's administration are:[34]

  • Paul Sears, Principal
  • Stacy Grimaldi, Assistant Principal
  • Michael Lapotasky, Assistant Principal

The general pattern for students is to study physics in ninth grade, biology in tenth grade, and chemistry in eleventh grade; these subjects can be studied at different levels, from modified to regular and to advanced/honors. Science department supervisor Tom O'Dowd explained that "teaching physics in ninth grade has been identified as the best option because physics is the fundamental science ... It is potentially the most concrete and the best suited for inquiry-based learning."[35] A movement towards teaching physics has been going on for years, explained one school spokesperson, who explained that physics is "more basic than biology" and "makes for a more rigorous and thoughtful curriculum."[36]

Generally honors and AP programs require test scores or honors applications (see chart) for a student to be accepted, and students in these programs are expected to maintain a B- average or better to continue in the next year's accelerated science courses. It's possible for students to apply for a more accelerated course each year by getting a favorable teacher recommendation or applying to an honors course. (One note not shown on chart: students taking modified biology in grade ten have a choice to study environmental science in their eleventh grade year.) Students in their sophomore, junior, or senior years of high school also have the option of participating in a shared-time program offered through the Union County Vocational Technical Schools (UCVTS). Student enrolled in the shared-time program can receive science credits for their coursework at UCVTS, and should discuss this option for science credit with their guidance counselors.[37]

Single semester electives are available to juniors and seniors in the following subjects: Forensic science; Marine Biology/Oceanography; and Astronomy. Full-year courses for seniors include: Environmental science, Honors physics, and AP study. AP courses offered include: AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C, and AP Physics B. Generally, honors and AP courses have prerequisites of past study in honors or AP courses (and maintaining grades of B- or better in those courses); and students can be admitted via a teacher recommendation.

Guidance and counseling

In a presentation to students and parents about applying for colleges, Summit High School guidance counselor Erin Day advises students to consider how success in their upcoming college can be defined by goals such as "appreciating beauty" and "finding the best in others."

The Department of Guidance and Counseling had nine staff members in 2011. It helps students plan courses and electives and arrange schedules. It assists parents and students in the college application process including hosting an informational Junior Family Night in October and visits by college representatives as well as a College Night in November.[38][39] College representatives typically visit during the fall and meet with students who are interested in attending their college.[39] Counselors meet with students and families in small groups and have an individual family conference in spring of junior year. Counselors advise about test taking strategies such as whether to take the SAT or ACT.[39] The school subscribes to a web-based college information program called Naviance which helps students choose colleges as well as provides data about how past Summit seniors fared with particular colleges. In 2013, only two seniors out of a class of 275 were accepted at Ivy League colleges (one of whom being a recruited athlete), and many more waitlisted at competitive colleges, prompting concern from parents and administrators that guidance counselors were not getting results.[40]

English

Emphasis is on written and oral communication. The curriculum seeks to develop students' reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing (media literacy), and critical thinking. There is a Writing Center for assistance which is staffed during school hours by English teachers.

Ninth graders have a choice of a Global Studies course which will meet for two periods each day; it teaches literacy skills with literature in a historical context and combines freshman English and world history. English 1 is also offered, as a one-period course, and it will teach literacy skills including reading and writing and focuses on putting text in a thematic or literary context.[41] The choice of which course to take should be based on a student's learning style; the Global Studies course will have more interaction and cooperative-based learning. Both English and Global Studies will require a research project to be completed. School authorities decided to eliminate ninth grade English honors in 2009 to permit a "fairer, more efficient process for assessing the willingness and readiness of students to enter the honors program in tenth grade," according to one account.[41] Students can apply for English 2 Honors taught in tenth grade.

Journalism is taught as an elective one-semester course and includes entry-level exposure to the SHS student newspaper. Honors and AP courses are open by application to students in grades 11 and 12. And a course in public speaking will be replaced by a course entitled "21st century media and communications."[42] Among the retirees include English teacher novelist Robert Kaplow whose bestselling novel Me and Orson Welles was made into a film.[43]

History

Summit high school offers a variety of programs in history, including World History. Instructors such as Andrea LaQuerre emphasize the importance of understanding how people in past times thought about their situation, and she encourages students to see the multiplicity of factors underlying historical events as well as how individuals changed history. History in 9th grade starts with World History and then can continue to U.S. History and U.S. History Honors.

Languages

Different courses of language instruction are offered, including Mandarin Chinese, which is "getting more and more popular", according to one account.[44]

Mathematics

Mathematics instructor David Pease taught algebra, trigonometry, and AP-level courses before retirement in 2012.

The Summit High School math department offers a variety of instructional paths allowing students who work hard to accelerate or decelerate their program as their needs change.

The department offers a two-year algebra program as a way to "firmly develop the concepts" of the course; the aim is "establishing a stronger foundation of Algebra 1 concepts (to) increase the potential of the student to reach Honors level courses," according to a letter to parents. School board officials suggested that a two-year algebra sequence will lead to "increased participation and greater success," and was phased in from 2010 through 2012.[45] It is expected that greater numbers of students will complete the sequence in pre-calculus.[46] Instructor David Pease, during back–to–school night, asked parents to solve mathematics questions[47] (click on reference) to impart to parents a sense of what their sophomores experience as students. The school lends graphing calculators to students for their use throughout some courses such as trigonometry, and expects the calculators to be returned in functional condition at the end of the school year. Each teacher has specific grading metrics based on such measures as attendance, quizzes and tests, homework, special assignments, classroom participation, projects, and so forth. Summit mathematics instructor Michael Thayer was a college champion on the TV game show Jeopardy! representing Rutgers University in 1990, and was recognized by a Cornell student as having had a strong academic influence in his life.[48][49][50]

Students who progress quickly have an opportunity to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses such as AP Calculus AB or BC and, as a result, possibly qualify for college credit. The highest level course is multivariable calculus. In addition, electives are offered in personal finance, AP statistics, and AP computer programming.
