Summit High School has been a prominent name in high school performing arts across New Jersey, the country, and the globe. We have been celebrated with countless honors from institutions such as Papermill Playhouse, Montclair State University, and the FRINGE Festival. We take pride in storytelling, sharing important messages, and learning valuable life lessons with each and every production.

We're a public high school located in Summit, New Jersey. All funding for our shows originates from ticket sales, fundraising, and the generosity of the Summit Performing Arts Resource Committee (SPARC) and Hilltopper Stage Productions. We don't receive any funding from the Summit Board of Education.
