The Sitka School District (SSD) is a K-12 public school district serving about 1,150 students who live in Sitka, Alaska. Sitka is one of the top five largest cities in Alaska with about 9,000 residents. Sitka is located on the western edge of Baranof Island and faces the Gulf of Alaska.

Mission:  The Sitka School District will intentionally develop Haa Latseení (Our Strength of Mind, Body, and Spirit) to inspire and prepare students to be compassionate, empowered, and equipped critical thinkers within a global community.

We believe:

  • all students should have equitable access to and support through high-quality education.
  • in removing barriers to community-wide educational opportunities.
  • that understanding and honoring diversity enhances the ability to learn.
  • every student should feel accepted, valued, and connected within the school and the community.
  • our schools should be reflective of the needs of our changing world.
