The Packer Experience
Students here are super collaborative. Whether in the library or out in the halls, you'll find students working together on different assignments, helping each other, editing each other's essays, even if they're not in the same class.
The teachers here think not just about your schoolwork, but also about you — what you like, what you think.
What I love about Packer is that it simultaneously prioritizes academics and community. I felt like I don’t have to sacrifice one for the other and I can have it all.
Packer has taught me that my voice has value and it's given me the skillset to use that voice to create change.
It's very easy to get to know the adults and teachers in this school. Whether it be administrators, your dean, your academic teachers, or your coaches, the adults really care about you.
