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:

  • 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.
