Northwest Arctic Borough School District

Serving around 1800 children in western Alaska, just north of the Arctic Circle, the Northwest Arctic Borough School District employs about 150 teachers in the region’s eleven villages. Connected by rivers and air routes, but no roads, the villages typically are home to a subsistence lifestyle built on hunting and fishing. By supporting both Iñupiaq and Western standards of success in our classrooms, we are preparing children to take an active role in this quickly changing corner of the last frontier.

"To graduate students with the skills and knowledge to be good citizens."
