About SP

Snowy Peaks Junior and Senior High School is Summit School District's small school option focused on transformational education. 

We pride ourselves on creating a student-centered learning community that provides an individualized experience for all students. Snowy Peaks teachers have a relentless focus on learning, while developing strong bonds with all students.

We are extremely proud to be formally known as the Transformational Education School, focusing on the transformation of students and staff into their best selves. Through relationship-based education, we create a caring community that cultivates character, motivation, and integrity in both students and staff.

“Be a Yeti! Be Legendary!”We are a non-traditional, relationship-based school that takes pride in creating a student-centered learning community that provides an individualized experience for all students, where all students elect to attend based upon the unique programming, focus on relationships, and use the blended learning model for curriculum delivery and enrichment.

Snowy Peaks’ graduate, Natalie Roldan Mercado, put it best when she said, "I am so happy that I decided to go to Snowy Peaks. This school has changed my life, and I will forever be grateful. This is not a school; this is a family."
