Lower Yukon School District is an education administration organization based in Mountain Village, Alaska. Its educators strive to develop each student’s potential, promote community awareness, and maintain strong academic standards. The district operates in the lower Yukon River region near its delta into the Bering Sea, an area tied to Yup’ik communities and a distinct cultural landscape. The district serves a relatively small, geographically dispersed student population, and is part of Alaska’s public education system. Since 2016, LYSD has collaborated with the Association of Alaska School Boards and six other districts on the CRESEL grant from the US Department of Education, reflecting an emphasis on culturally responsive approaches to social-emotional learning.
