Students explored interactive exhibits focused on space exploration, engineering, and the many career opportunities within the growing space industry. One of the highlights of the trip was getting a behind-the-scenes look at Astrobotic’s headquarters, where they were able to see a real lunar spacecraft being assembled for a future mission to the Moon.

This hands-on experience gave students a unique opportunity to connect their studies with real-world science and technology while gaining a deeper understanding of the exciting future of space exploration.

Learning truly reached new heights on this unforgettable adventure!

The boys were highly engaged during every class — asking thoughtful questions, participating in hands-on activities, and even competing in a fun Jeopardy-style review game during the final session. From learning how sunburns increase skin cancer risk to discovering hidden sugars in everyday foods, students gained valuable knowledge while having fun along the way.

A huge thank you to Joe Kerley and the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center for providing such meaningful and interactive lessons for our students!

Jase’s mother describes Summit Academy as a blessing, sharing that she has seen a complete transformation in her son. She believes the support, guidance, and opportunities he received here helped change the course of his life.

After graduation, Jase plans to attend nursing school and pursue a career helping others. In recognition of his hard work and dedication, he will also receive the Samuel A. Costanzo Scholarship, awarding him $2,000 toward his education.

Congratulations, Jase! We are proud of all you have accomplished and look forward to seeing what the future holds.

With gardening gloves on and shovels in hand, students spent time planting a variety of flowers and vegetables while learning what it takes to help a garden thrive. From preparing the soil to carefully planting each seedling, they are gaining hands-on experience while developing responsibility, patience, and teamwork.

Whether they’re growing colorful blooms or future harvests, students are taking pride in creating something beautiful and nurturing it every step of the way.

We can’t wait to watch their hard work grow throughout the summer and see both the vibrant flowers and delicious vegetables flourish in the months ahead!

At New Outlook Academy, learning extends beyond the classroom—and sometimes it starts right in the garden.

For many of our girls, this was their first time learning an instrument and performing in front of their peers. Their confidence and enthusiasm shined through as they shared the music they had worked so hard to learn.

We are so proud of our students for sharing their talents and challenging themselves in new ways. The concert was amazing, and their growth and accomplishments were truly inspiring!

From confident poses to smiles filled with pride and anticipation, these photos capture a special milestone in our students’ journeys. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and cannot wait to celebrate them at graduation on June 12, 2026!
