King Cove School is housed in a modern, well-maintained facility and benefits from a stable, experienced teaching staff with strong longevity and a deeply supportive local community.
The school’s low teacher-to-student ratio allows for strong relationships, individualized instruction, and targeted academic and social-emotional support.

JOB SUMMARY
The King Cove School Principal reports to and is evaluated by the District Superintendent and serves as the instructional leader and chief administrator of the school. The principal is responsible for implementing district and Alaska Board of Education policies and ensuring that all students are educated in a safe, inclusive, and academically rigorous learning environment that meets or exceeds state standards.
The principal’s primary focus is instructional leadership—supporting high-quality teaching and learning through curriculum implementation, data-informed decision-making, coaching and supervision of staff, and alignment of instruction across grade levels. In a small-school setting, the principal works closely with teachers to strengthen instructional practice, support differentiation, and ensure equitable access to learning opportunities for all students.

-
Leading school improvement planning and program evaluation
-
Supervising, mentoring, and evaluating staff
-
Supporting student activities and extracurricular programs
-
Managing school budgets and resources
-
Overseeing emergency procedures, school safety, and compliance
-
Coordinating scheduling, staffing, and use of instructional resources
-
Overseeing facilities operations in coordination with district staff
-
