Inuksuk High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inuksuk High School is the high school of Iqaluit, the capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. The high school, in the centre of town has some 450 students. It offers grade 8 to 12. The focus of the school is on teaching Inuit lanaguage and culture. The school's original name was the Gordon Robertson Education Centre, or GREC, before it changed to Inuksuk High School in the early 1990s. The school is named after the Inuksuk monuments that dot the region, and are a symbol of the territory.
The school, with its large gymnasium, is one of only a handful of public structures in the territorial capital. A number of important events have been held there, including a visit by the Queen. The gymnasium was also the first temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut after the territory was created in 1999.
