Land Acknowledgment:

We acknowledge that we gather here today on the traditional lands of the Dena'ina People of Upper Cook Inlet. For thousands of years, the Dena'ina People have been and continue to be the stewards of this land. ASD is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is with honor and respect that we recognize all Indigenous people who live and learn in our community.

Our Vision: Building the ideal student experience

ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp learning, achievement, and lifelong success are the focus of ASD. Within the District, families have many academic choices to meet a variety of student needs. Equitable access and opportunity are keys to building a successful learning path for each student. ASD celebrates our differences and is committed to inclusion of all our community's languages, cultures, and perspectives.

Education plays a vital role in preparing students to become engaged, productive members of our culturally rich community. Our community envisions students empowered by real world experiences with access to educational opportunities within and beyond the walls of school buildings. ASD is boldly committed to transforming how we prepare students for life, college and careers within Alaska and across the globe.

Career Focus for All ÅÝܽÊÓƵapps

The ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp of Anchorage create areas of career focus or “pathways” in Anchorage high schools. At the end of their freshman year, students choose the pathway that best fits their college or career interests and take electives related to that field over the course of their high school journey.

Pathways feature industry and career programs including Business and Innovation, Community Planning and Infrastructure, Leadership in Law and Business, Industry and Construction, Culinary Arts, and Welding. There are 26 general pathways and 85 specialties within those pathways available.
