School Overview
Tebughna School is a K–12 educational institution located in the remote village of Tyonek, Alaska, situated on the western shore of the Cook Inlet. As part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the school serves as a central hub for the small Dena'ina Athabascan community. Because of its isolated location, the school plays a vital role in providing a comprehensive education to students in a rural setting, often emphasizing a close-knit, small-group learning environment that caters to the specific cultural and academic needs of its student body.

The school’s curriculum and culture are deeply intertwined with the local environment and the heritage of the Tyonek people. By integrating traditional Dena'ina values with state-mandated academic standards, Tebughna School strives to prepare its students for both local opportunities and broader pursuits beyond the village. The school is accessible primarily by air or boat, which underscores its unique position as a focal point for community activities, cultural preservation, and youth development within the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
