Board of Trustees
The Summit is governed by the Board of Trustees, a highly committed group of parents, alumni, parents of alumni, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and campus chaplain. The Board is responsible for oversight of the school’s mission and ensuring that the mission is relevant and vital to the community. Monitoring the success of the school in fulfilling its mission is a key responsibility for the Board along with fiduciary and strategic duties. The full board meets five times a year: September, October, December, January, March and May. The Board has six standing committees.
