Members participate in parades in northern California and southern Oregon each spring. Summit Academy, the district's community day school, began December 1, 1997. The school is located at the bottom of the hill near the entrance of Dunsmuir Elementary School. Summit Academy has averaged five students per year in attendance. They follow the same curriculum as D.E.S. students.
Every effort is made to assign teachers to classes within their credential authorization.
K-3 students participated in the state's Class Size Reduction program. A music teacher and two resource specialists round out the teaching staff. In addition to the certificated staff, there were fifteen instructional aides offering assistance. AmeriCorps tutors also offer support services during summer school and our summer Intensive Reading program. Our programs are current with the California State Frameworks and reflect the state standards.
