Rather than renovate the land so that it would remain stable, the school district decided to fix any problems as they arose.

[7] At the start of the 08-09 year, Summit had finished its new field and turf stadium due in large part to a grant provided by Drew Bledsoe, ex NFL Quarterback and current Offensive Coordinator for the Storm football team.

The school installed a 32-panel solar power system in November 2004 that was projected to provide 7,315 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.

In the school's opening ceremony in 2001, Storm Man was revealed as a Batman look-alike with a large "S" emblazoned on his chest, a lightning bolt in one hand, and a shield in the other.

In 2006-07, the OSAA changed from a four-tier (1A-4A) classification system to a six-tier (1A-6A); as part of that reclassification, Summit High School remained in the Intermountain Conference but was then classified as 5A.

The band has also received numerous awards at national band festivals in locations including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, and Seattle, and was selected from among hundreds of applicants to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2011.

In the spring of 2014 the Chorale Choir was invited to perform at the State Championships, where it received eighth place.
