holds graduation ceremonies
Five students making up the class of 2009 at Summit Academy held their graduation exercises last Friday, May 29, at the Summit Academy gym. 
Valedictorian Kim Frei and co-salutatorians Joseph Lustig and Michael Hattrup gave their speeches and each later received high honor medals. Jerry Wren gave the commencement address. For Wren this completed a trifecta as he had previously served as commencement speaker at both St. Gertrude’s Academy and Prairie High School. Each graduate was given certificates recognizing their extracurricular activities over their 4 years of high school. Principle Annette Wemhoff then presented three annual awards given to Summit’s seniors at graduation. The Congeniality Award went to Frei. The Patriot Award went to Chase Nuxoll.
