In Year One of a three year report that was written during her time with the Department of Education in Nunavut when she was doing research with an ArcticNet grant, McGregor compares and contrasts two senior (Gr 10-12) high schools in the territory over a decade at the turn of the 21st century.  Several demographic indicators in the schools are examined in order to draw conclusions regarding what areas are producing pedagogically successful outcomes, and those that need improvement, both in the schools specifically, and in the territory overall.
