Community Schools Welcome to . . . Each year some 3,000 Sitkans take part in one or more activities sponsored by Community Schools. Sitka Community Schools offers programs to meet the needs and interests of all members of the community from school-based programs, sports, afterschool child care, swimming, and summer recreational programs. Using schools as hubs for public activity makes sense.
Schools are one of our major resources and investments.
Traditional school hours leave plenty of time to schedule them for other uses. In Sitka, over 65 groups including the Teen Center, Scout Troops, Little League and the Filipino Community meet in classrooms. School recreational facilities, including four gymnasiums, the Blatchley pool and track, and multipurpose rooms are scheduled and used by literally thousands of Sitkans each year. Affordable fees are charged for Community Schools programs with scholarships available to low income youth. The people of Sitka are at the core of Community Schools.
