The Sisters of Summit Scholars

Our grandmother went to Spelman College to be a teacher in 1910. When so few like her had the opportunity to higher education. She taught us to pursue education as a way of life. Because of her, education is a family value, and we share that innate strategy with everyone. Together as sisters we bring you a lifetime of dedication to improving the lives of young people through learning. Let us share this joy with you as we present Winning @ Achievement 4 High School Students through our new and improved Summit Scholars platform. 


Our coaches help students with professional insight into the college process to save parents time, stress and unnecessary financial obligations. Our team is dedicated to the student experience in high school while guiding them as they transition into college. We know what is done outside the classroom is as important as what is done inside the classroom. 

Our visionary is Priscilla O'Neill. Once you meet her you will see the passion and enthusiasm she has for students. She lives and breathes optimism for students and our mission equipping youth to discover their trajectory for success. Her sister Effie Jenkins-Smith is a high powered educator, winning The Governors school of excellence as one of her many academic achievements.

"Our grandmother went to college in 1910 and so can you!"
