Mission

We are a community of leaders who work hard to stretch our minds, inspire others, and learn new things through perseverance.

Vision

We believe that leadership is the foundation for our students and staff at Summit Drive Elementary.  Once students exhibit these behaviors or dispositions, they have the ability to utilize their processing skills into Design Thinking.  Students then develop a growth or entrepreneurial mindset.  All of these skills and behaviors are woven into the South Carolina academic standards.

Our Story

Summit Drive Elementary was established in 1952 to serve the growing population in the Greenville area. As a neighborhood landmark, the school has played an important role in the education of many families in the local community. Many of the Summit Drive alumni still live in the community today, and their children and grandchildren now attend Summit Drive. In 2001, a new building was built at the same site, and in 2021, a new addition was added. As our school continues to grow, our highly-skilled faculty continues to focus on developing 21st century learners through creative problem solving, providing a creative and caring community of learners, and cultivating leaders who change the world.
