A Closer Look at NSA Employees & Staff

Our newsletters often highlight the cool activities that our students experience week to week at New Summit Academy.

But it felt important to also highlight the PEOPLE that our students get to experience and interact with on a regular basis. Everyone who visits our Atenas campus expresses how amazing it is that our team functions like a well-oiled machine. 

Yet, we’re not a machine. We are a network of hearts and souls dedicated to making our community a better place - one where students feel seen, heard, challenged, and supported to be their best self -- a self that opens their mind to experience, learns from mistakes, and sets goals and achieves them.

What makes this possible isn’t great leadership or air tight protocols (although we have those too). It’s the people who make NSA their home - day in and day out - and give their energy, intelligence, and hard work to make New Summit Academy, approaching its 15th year, what it is today. 

We hope you enjoy some stats about NSA staff:

--Total number of Employees: 49.5 (the .5 reflects a couple of part-time employees)

--Youngest 25, Oldest 73 
--6 under age 30 
--20 age 30-40 
--18 age 40-50 
--6 age 50-60 
--1 age 60+ 

Again, what a beautiful balance of age and experience to guide our students through what often feels like a difficult stage of life - adolescence! 

Retention:
--28% of our Employees have worked for over 10 years at NSA (14) - Yes, that’s right! Almost 1/3 of our staff have been at NSA for over a decade! 
--28% (14) Employees have worked for 5-10 years at NSA 
--16% (8) Employees have worked for 3-5 years at NSA 
--28% (14) Employees have worked for under 3 years at NSA 

We are very proud that we have such great retention of employment -- 56% of our staff have been working at NSA for over 5 years! 

We have such a mix of experienced veterans and new professionals who bring creative ideas and lots of fresh energy to our campus. 

And 32% of our Employees are female, which lends a nice balance to an all-male school.
​
These statistics may not mean much to you, but they mean a lot to us. Our future newsletters will be highlighting some of these wonderful people who make NSA what it is - an amazing growth experience for our students!
