Sports When Summit High School opened its doors in 2001, it joined the Intermountain Conference as an Oregon School Activities Association 4A classification school. In 2006-07, the OSAA changed from a four-tier (1A-4A) classification system to a six-tier (1A-6A); as part of that reclassification, Summit High School remained in the Intermountain Conference but was then classified as 5A. It has remained a 5A school until the 2018-19 school year where it became part of the 6A classification. It is now part of the Mountain Valley conference with Bend and Mountain View High-school, along with multiple schools from the Salem area. Their neighbors and rival high schools, Mountain View and Bend, are also part of the same conference and classification.
