Megan Seubert was honored as the only senior on the squad. With the win Summit finished the regular season at 7-9 overall and 4-8 in league play, good for the #5 seed into the District Tournament. Summit jumped all over Nezperce in the first game as Rachel Waters served them to a 6-0 lead with a couple of aces along with 2 kills by Seubert and another by Lucy Osborne. 
After trading sideouts, Seubert had a pair of aces and Ally Sonnen added a kill to make it 10-1.

She had 2 aces while Seubert scored 2 kills and a block. Nezperce came back stronger in the second game after getting blitzed in the first as they built a 7-13 lead before bricking a serve. That gave Summit the opening they need as Sonnen served them back into the game. She had 2 aces while Seubert dominated at the net with a pair of kills and a stuff as Summit tied the score at 13. Nezperce twice more took the lead only to see Summit rally back to tie. Summit finally took the lead on a missed serve at 18-17 and Seubert was able to serve out the game. She had 5 aces while adding a free ball kill from the back row while Sonnen scored the game-winning kill. The third game belonged to Nezperce as they jumped out to leads of 0-9 and 1-12. Nezperce eventually led 12-23. At that point Summit put together a rally but they had dug too much of a hole and wound up losing by just 5. In the fourth game it was close early on but Ashlee Stubbers put together a 5 point serving run to break it open. Sonnen scored the sideout kill and added another before Ashlee rang off 4 straight aces to make it 10-4.

Igniting the school year, Summit Academy’s Formation Director Mrs. Lustig encouraged the virtue of kindness. K-12 students were coached throughout September on how to become more generous, helpful, and concerned for others. Blessed Mother Theresa was their role-model. She cared for the sick. She aided the dying. She saw the face of God in the poor and helpless. Despite her many hardships, Blessed Mother Theresa learned to show cheerfulness habitually. The 1st—2nd Grades were awarded for mirroring her example the best amongst the entire student body. We thank you, 1-2nd Graders! We of Summit Academy pray that all of us, as we grow in the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, may increase in the virtue of kindness throughout the rest of the school year. Summit Academy’s Kindness Campaign Winners: Mrs. Sonnen, Mrs. Lustig, Connor Nuxoll, Phillip Schwartz, Kaden Krogh, Thomas Rose Top: Greta Watson, Sarah Waters, Rachel Sonnen, Julia Wassmuth and Noelle Chmelik 
The Kindergarten class at Summit Academy initiated a campaign to "Light our Flag". Student body President Josh Lustig had suggested the idea of a light on our outdoor flag, so the Kindergarten class collected money from the students in every grade for the last 2 weeks and presented the cash to Josh Lustig and the Summit Student Government. Pictured (left to right) are: Mrs. Rehder and Josh Lustig in the back Nathan Wassmuth and Catherine Seubert in the front row. 
Summit teacher Michelle Sonnen signs the Oath of Fidelity while other Summit staff members line up to do the same. On October 16, to express their faithfulness to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Summit Academy’s faculty and staff publicly signed the Oath of Fidelity. The teachers promised to “hold fast to the deposit of the faith in its entirety…[to] follow and foster the common discipline of the entire Church…[and to] faithfully assist diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised in the name and by the mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion with the Church.” Father Paul Wander witnessed the signing during the Thursday morning Mass at St. Mary’s parish. Following the ceremony, Principal Mr. James Hickel, presented to Father Paul a tissue box serendipitously stuffed with letters of thanks and gifts. Summit Academy honored Father Paul for Clergy Appreciation month in October, and thanked Father Paul for his support and kindness toward the school’s goal to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
