“With the addition of our new high school building, we will have the necessary classrooms to support our growing enrollment and establish the capacity for Summit’s future growth of up to 144 students in high school and 468 students across our K-12 program.”
“We aim to create the capacity to maintain the small class sizes that are distinctive to Summit’s program, and to support our enrollment and financial sustainability goals,” said Pusch. It will be an entirely new space of about 15,000 square feet and will include traditional classrooms, a science lab, a learning kitchen, rooms for individualized education, an outdoor courtyard, admin offices and a large commons area. The new high school building is expected to be operational for the start of the 2024-25 school year. Haywood County Schools recently received two grants from Dogwood Health Trust.
