Summit Lakes Middle School opened in the fall of 2000 with 481 students and 33 teachers. A team representing the school community created the school's name, including the word "Summit" representing the name of the city Lee's Summit and "Lakes" due to the number of lakes in the community, especially within the attendance area. The students who opened the building were charged with naming the school

mascot and identifying school colors, hence the navy and hunter green Falcons were born. Cliff Sloan, and Mrs. Janette Cooley. Summit Lakes was initially opened with a capacity of 600 students. In 2004, a bond issue funded a planned second phase, increasing the capacity of the school to approximately 1,000 students. Summit Lakes Middle School is located about one mile west of the intersection of State Route 291 and MO-150.

What happens when you give students their own raised garden beds? You get some gorgeous vegetables!

Mrs. Griffin and Ms. Serrano have been tending to the weeds and watering in the student garden this summer. They are excited to see the progress of the vegetables that the students selected after researching what would be ideal to grow. Students in their classes are building lifelong skills that will follow them through life.

Thank you everyone who came out today to support our SLMS Falcons Flag Football teams for our showcase. The season for these ladies may have been short, but you would never know it by the skills they showed on the field.

The last huddle on the field with Coach Maggio summed up what this sport is about. It's a sport, there will always be a "winner", but when we work as one, cheering each other on, we are ALL winners. This is the heart and soul of a TEAM.

Great job athletes, coaches, and parents on a short, but fun and successful season! We can't wait until next year!

Today SLMS Falcons flew high after studying aerospace, engineering, terminology, and physics while they launched their model rockets to over 800 feet of altitude. We might have some future aerospace engineers on our hands!
