Welcome to SISD's school Port Alexander Schools website!
It is currently undergoing migration, updates, adaptations and debugging so please don't hesitate to reach out with any issues you might experience so we can fix them and create a smooth, engaging and interactive experience. Staff Login and editing abilities will roll out incrementally and the creation of staff pages and department pages will be coming shortly as well as the retirement of legacy pages.
We appreciate your patience through this transition.
Welcome to our school community!
Port Alexander is a remote community on Baranof Island where the Tongass National Forest meets the Pacific Ocean, reachable only by boat or floatplane. Each year our school hosts the Alaska Tides to Tongass Science and Arts Academy, bringing students from across the nation to learn marine ecology and traditional art forms alongside our own.
What's to Come
This year, SISD is expanding what Career and Technical Education looks like across our island. Students will have new opportunities for work-based learning, gaining real experience alongside local employers and within the district itself. Our CTE trails will give students a clear path from coursework to certification to career, built around each student's own goals. And throughout the year, students will have access to hands-on intensives, both here on Prince of Wales Island and beyond, connecting classroom learning to real industry experience.
We're building these opportunities around what our students and communities actually want, take five minutes to complete our POW CTE Interest Survey and help shape what comes next: https://forms.gle/gErvbAkwkaUhBtUJ8I'm honored to welcome you to the school year, and I look forward to meeting our students, families, and staff in person this August.
Happy Trails,
Dr. Paulisa J. Scarlett, DBA, MBA
Area Administrator & CTE Director
