Are you ready for a unique and rewarding leadership experience? The Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) invites passionate educators to join our vibrant community in the heart of rural Alaska. We are currently seeking candidates for the 2025–2026 school year.

LKSD is the largest rural school district in Alaska, serving nearly 4,000 predominantly Yup'ik students across 27 schools.
