| Summit
graduation is held
Fr. Paul was the commencement speaker for the Class of 2018. His talk focused on the value of being a good person over being a successful person. This was the 1st time in Summit history to have a Baccalaureate Mass for the Senior Graduation. In the past the graduates attended a Mass off campus and then returned to school for a separate graduation ceremony. This year Summit, being a Catholic School recognized by the Diocese of Boise, was permitted to do a Baccalaureate Mass in which the diplomas and awards are incorporated with a celebration of the Eucharist in Mass. After the Mass concluded a dessert reception was held in the gym and the Junior Class presented the slideshow. Following are the awards received by each graduating senior. Lucia Osborne Valedictorian, High Honors: Volleyball 4 years, Academic Bowl 4 years, Drama 4 years, 80 hours of Apostolic Service Certificate Scholarships: Knights of Columbus, $400 Presidential Scholarship, $2,500 High School Leadership, $500 She also received The Patriot Award, which goes to the Senior we can always rely on to work hard in all academic areas.
