This story regarding Summit Hill's history ran in our newsletter the first year we opened. We hope our new families will enjoy reading about our history.

On December 5, 1895, John W. Cowart deeded to the School Trustees of Summit School approximately one acre of land for the price of ten dollars “…as long as same is used for school purposes.” Mr. Cowart later served as trustee and principal. The two-room school was built shortly after that date and stayed in existence until 1932 when Milton County was merged into Fulton County. Summit School stood approximately 100 yards from where Summit Hill Elementary now stands.

Mr. Cowart's farmhouse still stands at the corner of Providence and Cowart Roads. Summit or Summit Hill as it was sometimes called, is the name of the ridge that runs through the small community whose rough boundaries include Cooper Sandy Creek on the south, Chicken Creek on the north, Hopewell Road on the easy and Providence Church on the west. On clear days, the mountains of North Georgia are visible from the crest of Summit. From reviewing the old school records it is clear that, like now, this community was very interested in the education of its children. Judging from the names of individuals who served as trustees, principals and teachers, virtually the entire community, at one time or another participated in the successful operation of Summit School.
