Summit High School Graduates 277 Students

Ceremony moved inside Monday night after threat of thunderstorms.

More than 270 seniors graduated from Summit High School on Monday, June 24.

The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place on Tatlock Field in Summit, but impending thunderstorms prompted school administrators to move the graduation inside with a later start to the ceremony.

Many community members were able to watch the ceremony in the auditorium, while others watched a live feed in the cafeteria, science wing and library.
