Discover the Adventure of Being a Principal in Alaska with the Lower Kuskokwim School District
Are you ready for a unique and rewarding leadership experience? The Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) invites passionate educators to join our vibrant community in the heart of rural Alaska. We are currently seeking candidates for the 2025–2026 school year.
LKSD is the largest rural school district in Alaska, serving nearly 4,000 predominantly Yup’ik students across 27 schools. Spanning a landmass the size of West Virginia, our district stretches along the Kuskokwim River and the Bering Sea coast. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in stunning landscapes, rich cultural traditions, and a deeply meaningful educational mission.
Adventure is part of the job—traveling to our communities often involves flying from Anchorage and completing the journey by small plane, snowmobile, or boat. But more importantly, you will play a vital role in delivering bilingual, culturally relevant education that empowers students to succeed.
