Today, we're celebrating National Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day, which is officially on March 6th, but since we'll be on Spring Break, we're celebrating early!

AISD is fortunate to have an incredible maintenance team that works diligently (in all kinds of weather!) to keep our buildings and grounds a safe place to come to school and work every day. Thank you to Brielle, Cameron, Marcus, and Mike- we greatly appreciate everything you do!

Please join us for a FREE concert from Island Music, Rachel & Keve, TOMORROW, Friday, February 27th at 9:30 am!

When: Friday, February 27th
Time: 9:30 - 10:30 am
Where: Metlakatla High School

We invite our community to come and listen to some truly incredible music with out students & staff!

About Rachel & Keve:
Friends since the age of 10, Rachel Handman-violin and Keve Wilson-oboe, grew up dreaming of performing on Broadway, and spent every Saturday studying at Manhattan School of Music as teenagers, where they would practice showtunes and Irish jigs and reels. Having realized that Broadway dream, they were in the orchestra for the 2018 Broadway revival of Carousel and recently played together in the new Sondheim musical Here We Are, as well as over 20 other Broadway shows. From Carnegie Hall to small intimate gatherings, this violin and oboe duo pushes the boundaries of musical genre — fusing classical virtuosity with the spontaneity of a bluegrass band. Rachel spent a year in Bolivia, performing string quartets by day and in Bolivian cafes by night. Keve traveled to Europe as oboist with the Absolute Ensemble and learned how to Irish jig like a fiddler. Rachel and Keve have performed at music festivals and on concert series around the country. Their debut album, The Catskill Sessions, is available on the CCR/NAXOS label and available on all streaming services. Rachel and Keve are joined by guitarist and arranger Justin Rothberg.

Dear AISD Community,

The District was greatly saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and former AISD staff member, Raf. His loss is felt across Metlakatla by his family, friends, and our staff who worked alongside him for many years.

Moments like this remind us how closely connected we are as a school community, and we want to ensure that our students, families, and staff have support during this difficult time. We have linked some resources for families which offer guidance and support for navigating loss:

Additional support resources are available on our website:

Our hearts are with Raf's family and loved ones.

Sagayt k’üülm goot.
(All of one heart.)

Earlier this week, MHS students had an outstanding opportunity to tour the JAG Shipyard! They were personally escorted by General Manager Bergan Wieler and Production Manager Ryan Olson, who gave the group an inside look at real-world marine repair and heavy industry operations.

Students observed an Alaska Marine Highway ferry undergoing propeller and propeller shaft servicing, toured the machine shop, and watched a variety of machining and welding processes in action. They also visited the submersible dry dock, where a NOAA vessel was being repaired and serviced.

Experiences like this help connect classroom learning to high-demand careers in welding, machining, marine service, and industrial trades. T'oya̱xsut 'nüün to JAG Shipyard for investing time in our students and supporting career and technical education!
