School Notes:
  • Yaakoosgé Daakahídi Alternative High School is a high school of the Juneau School District in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, United States. The school is an opportunity for students over the age of 16 to have a less mainstream high school experience than that offered by Juneau-Douglas High School.
  • The school is seeking to expand into the school district's headquarters located across the street from its existing facility. The move would allow the school to double its student body.
  • Programs and curriculum: The school integrates the culture and language of the Tlingit for the many Native American students, who are at higher risk of dropping out of school. Ceremonies have been held to specifically honor the achievements of Tlingit students at the school, as part of an effort to recognize and encourage achievement by Tlingit students.
  • Students at the school have participated in a nine-week domestic violence program, aimed at cutting the state's nation leading rates of such violence.
  • Origin of name: Yaakoosgé daakahídi is a Tlingit language phrase meaning "house of learning". The term was created by Tlingit elder Anna Katzeek.
