Student Incentives

Here at Granger High School, we have high expectations for our academic performance, attendance, and behavior.  We want to recognize and celebrate when students meet these high standards that make us successful at Granger.

• Teachers give digital Gold Lancer points to students to recognize positive behavior, engagement, attendance, or growth. Lancer Gold can be redeemed at the G Store during lunch for food, candy, school merchandise, or school swag items.  Dance tickets and spirit bowl shirts can usually be purchased with Lancer Gold. 

• Prizes available at the G Store:

• Food: Cup of noodles, Ramen Noodles, Candy, Pop Tarts, etc.

• Clothes:  Shirts, hats, hoodies, lanyards, and other items

Did you know that the Keys to Success is a great program for all high school students?  It can help you find scholarships, internships, and career training.  Don’t know what you want to do in the future?  Keys offers aptitude-exploration tools like YouScience.  Need some help to gain the leadership abilities or skills to be prepared for the future?  They’ve got you.  Participate in their Technology, Literacy Initiative, or Women Who Succeed programs.  You can even become a Key Ambassador!  All of these programs offer mentorship by professionals in the community and one-on-one help and guidance. 

Do you love gift cards and certificates to participate in fun activities?  You can earn points on your online Keys to Success account that you can trade for these items.  You can earn these by applying for scholarships, exploring the Keys to Success app and its programs, participating in class, earning good grades, being a good citizen, etc.  If you work in the app, the app will award you points, but any teacher can nominate you for points for any reason.  If you have an idea for points, set an academic goal with a teacher and earn points at its completion.  Did you know that you can even trade your points for a chance to win a brand new car given away each June?

Did you know that you can learn about careers in the Keys to Success app?  This is a great tool for figuring out what you want to do in the future, or even completing assignments in class.   You can even explore scholarships that specifically match your interests. There are over $160,000,000 in scholarships and tuition waivers available to students here in Utah.  You can also find internships and other opportunities like job fairs and how to earn certificates on the app (and earn points for prizes while you do). You can get help with the college application process on the app as well.  So, what are you waiting for?  Sign up on the Keys to Success app today!

• Teachers may nominate any class to be a "class act" for doing something great. 

• It can be for attendance, participation, doing well on an assessment, being respectful, or something else. 

• The class will be visited by administration, given a treat, and recognized on school social media. 

• So talk to your teachers to create a goal as a class so your class can win. 

• If you have 100% attendance, meaning you were marked present in every class every day, you will receive a certificate commemorating your achievement. 

• This achievement is great to put on a resume as evidence of your dedication!

• We love recognizing students who work hard to have a high GPA and CPA each quarter. Those on the honor roll will receive a certificate in the mail at the end of each quarter that they earn it. 

• There are 3 types of academic honor roll certificates:

  • • 3.0 GPA - Honor Roll

    • 3.5 GPA - High Honor Roll

    • 4.0 GPA - 4.0 Honor Roll

• Students who earn a 3.0 CPA or higher will receive a Lancer Pride certificate in the mail as well.

• Each month, 2 students from every grade level are recognized by teachers for doing great things in class. 

• These students will be recognized during a monthly breakfast and on social media.

• They also receive a certificate and prizes. 

• If you are interested in getting student of the month, talk with your teachers and ask them what you can do so they will nominate you.

• Valedictorians are Granger High seniors who achieve a high level of academic success with a cumulative 4.0 GPA. 

• One Valedictorian will be chosen to speak at graduation with the Senior Class President. 

• This is a great achievement to put on a resume and college applications. 

• Many valedictorians receive scholarships for college.

Granger High School would like students to feel encouraged and honored for taking pride in academics. Students can receive an academic letter, just like an athletic letter. This is a great achievement that you can put on a resume and applications.
