School Overview
Unalaska Jr/Sr High School is a public secondary school located in the remote Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Serving a diverse student population, the school is part of the Unalaska City School District and plays a central role in the unique island community of Unalaska/Dutch Harbor.

The school is known for its tight-knit community atmosphere and its ability to offer a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities despite its small size. Students have access to various sports, clubs, and cultural activities that reflect the local Alaskan heritage and the international influence of the fishing industry. By integrating technology and modern pedagogical strategies, Unalaska Jr/Sr High School strives to bridge the gap caused by physical isolation, ensuring that students remain competitive and connected with the broader educational landscape of the United States.
