Shishmaref School is located in the small community of Shishmaref, Alaska. It serves as the primary educational institution for the village, catering to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is part of the Bering Strait School District, which encompasses many remote communities in Alaska. Due to its location on Sarichef Island, just off the mainland, the school and its students face unique challenges such as harsh weather conditions and limited access to resources. Despite these challenges, Shishmaref School aims to provide a comprehensive education that includes both standard academic subjects and cultural programs that reflect the community’s Inupiat heritage. The school often plays an integral role in the community, hosting events and serving as a gathering place for residents.
