New Summit Upper School Grand Opening!
 

New Summit School will be hosting its Grand Opening of the new Upper School building on Friday, September 19th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. At this time we will be having a presentation given by Dr. Nancy New, entertainment provided by the student body, special guest speakers, a ribbon cutting by the Jackson Greater Chamber of Commerce, tours by the student leadership council, and a student showcase presented by the student body and faculty. 


 

New Summit has completed the groundbreaking building project for the new 20,000 square foot upper school building. New Summit School tore down the Upper Elementary building, Lower Elementary building and Online High School building. In exchange for a new building that will include a full size gym, innovative science lab, technology rich computer lab, interactive resource room, home economics and nine additional classrooms.


 

A team of staff members worked closely with architectural firm, Tim Taylor, P.A., on a plan that provides the space and functionality needed to meet the current and foreseeable needs of the school. We asked Marvin Williams Construction to review these plans and prepare a budget for the necessary demolition and construction. These proposals have been carefully reviewed to ensure they reflect the architect consent and the school's needs. This building project is a step to continue to improve and upgrade New Summit School's campus. Gone are the days were students come to just listen to a teacher teach their subject areas in front of a board while holding a book. Gone are the days where students do not have enough room and resources to succeed in their educational needs. New Summit School plans to continue to expand its services and look forward to the future growth of our campus.


 

New Summit School is a full-time school offering classes K-12th Grade. Although New Summit School is designed similarly to traditional schools, emphasis is placed on keeping instructional groups small and teaching to the individual student in a positive and stimulating environment. Our goal is to promote academic achievement and social growth within an environment enriched by economic and ethnic diversity.


 

If you would like to donate to New Summit School Capitol Gift Giving Campaign, please contact New Summit School's Executive Director, Dr. Nancy New at 601.982.7827 or visit our website www.newsummitschool.com. At New Summit, we strive to encourage our students to realize their full academic and creative abilities, develop strong values, and eventually determine how they will contribute to the community in their own individual way.
