Hoonah City School District

Nestled in Southeast Alaska, the Hoonah City School District serves as a vital educational hub for the rural, remote community of Hoonah. Operating from its central school campus at 366 Garteeni Hwy, this fully active, traditional public school district delivers a continuous academic journey spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within a single administrative facility. The district currently serves a close-knit student body of 110 learners, anchored by a strong indigenous heritage with a majority American Indian and Alaska Native student population, along with White and multiracial students. This unified setting ensures that local children experience consistent educational oversight and a supportive community atmosphere throughout their entire primary and secondary education.

To support its student body, the district maintains an exceptionally well-resourced educator framework relative to its size, employing 24 full-time equivalent teachers, 8 instructional aides, and 25 support staff members. This dedicated team of 57 staff members allows for an remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of under five to one, facilitating highly individualized instruction, tailored academic intervention, and strong personal mentorship for every child. For families, educators, and researchers interested in learning more about the district's programs and community initiatives, Hoonah City School District can be reached by phone at (907) 945-3613 or online at www.hoonahschools.org.
