Petersburg School District is a small, close-knit district located in the heart of Southeast Alaska on Mitkof Island. Serving approximately 475 students in grades PreK–12, our schools are recognized for strong academic achievement, innovative programs, and a supportive learning environment.

The district operates three schools on one campus: Rae C. Stedman Elementary, Mitkof Middle School, and Petersburg High School. With dedicated educators, small class sizes, and a focus on the whole child, we provide students with excellent educational opportunities alongside a wide range of extracurricular activities, including athletics, fine arts, and career and technical programs.

Our community of Petersburg, often called “Little Norway,” is a vibrant fishing town surrounded by stunning natural beauty—mountains, glaciers, and waterways rich with wildlife. Families and staff enjoy a safe, family-friendly atmosphere with access to year-round outdoor recreation such as boating, fishing, hiking, and skiing.

Petersburg School District values collaboration, innovation, and community partnerships. We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace where staff are encouraged to grow professionally while making a positive impact on students’ lives.
