Principal’s Message

Dear Summit families,

It is with great joy and excitement that I write this letter to you as the Principal of Aspire Summit Charter Academy (SCA). I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich educational tradition. I have been dedicated to the field of education for the last twenty years. During that time, I have taught grades 2nd through 7th, and previously, I had the opportunity to be Assistant Principal at University Charter School. This will be my seventh year as the Principal at SCA. I am proud of everything we were able to accomplish together and look forward to continuing our partnership. I am excited and eager to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success. 

On a personal note, I am married to my wonderful wife Britney, and have two lovely children: Sophie, age 15, and Ryder, age 8. Outside of education, some of my favorite things to do are bowling, golfing, darts, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I look forward to getting to know all of you. It is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors, students, families, and staff, is excited to be here and feels welcome! I hope that this mindset enables us to meet the challenges of academic success in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. My door is always open, and I welcome your input.

I look forward to working with you as a team to help each student at Summit Charter Academy meet their goals and have a successful school year! Zachary.Dickinson@aspirepublicschools.org (209) 538-8082

 

Sincerely,

Zack Dickinson
