• PACK HOUR

     

     The PACK Hour is based upon Green Canyon’s mission statement which is Purpose, Attitude, Connections and Knowledge. The purpose of this hour is to create time during the school day to support the following:

     

    1. Academics  –  Academically, we want every student to be successful. We not only want to ensure every student is passing their classes, but that they are also being challenged by mastering the curriculum.

     

    1. Extra-Curricular Activities – We want every student to be involved in extra-curricular activities. We feel strongly that students who are involved in extra-curricular activities learn important life skills, do better academically, and benefit from involvement in positive activities.

     

    1. Character – We believe it is important for students to develop strong character as part of their education including being responsible, self-motivated, and developing good self-management and social skills.

     

    1. Life Preparation – Upon leaving Green Canyon High School, we want every student to be prepared for the next step in life whether that is college, technical training, or the job market.
