The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District is in charge of 44 different schools. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District covers around 25,600 square miles (which is bigger than the state of West Virginia). The KPBSD is the largest employer on the Kenai Peninsula and issues more than $4.8 million monthly in gross payroll. Over 46% of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s certified staff has been a part of the KPBSD team for over 10 years.

Dr. Atwater then attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA from 1981-1983 and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology as well as minored in English. After receiving his Bachelor’s, Dr. Atwater then attended the University of Alaska- Fairbanks from 1988-1994 and received his Master’s in Education Curriculum and Instruction. Dr. Steve Atwater attended the University of Alaska-Anchorage from 1998-2000 and attained an Administrator Certificate.

From 2005-2009, Dr. Atwater attended the University of Alaska-Fairbanks again and received his Doctorate in Education Leadership.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District even offers its students charter schools. Charter schools allow parents, teachers and students to choose an alternative curriculum or program of study. Charter schools are also a nice option for parents who want a style or type of instruction that they believe best fits their child’s needs. Charter schools are free public schools and do not charge tuition or admission fees. There is a committee of school parents and staff, the Academic Policy Committee, who oversee the mission of the school, ensuring that the integrity of the character is maintained.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District encourages community members to be school volunteers. For the safety of all students a school volunteer must complete the volunteer screening process online and agree to a background check. This whole process is kept confidential and will only take a few minutes to complete. The information from the screening and background check is kept private and not released to the schools or school administrators. The only people who will have this information are the District’s Human Resources department. The background check is only looking for criminal history, not financial, medical history or civil matters.

You’ll find Kenai real estate smack on the western part of the Kenai Peninsula coast, which also sits on the boundary of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. It’s about a thirty minute plane trip from southwest Anchorage, Alaska. Approximately ninety percent of the area is wilderness, so it is full of breathtaking scenery, superb fishing and abundant wildlife of all that the North has to offer; truly an ideal location for outdoor types and nature-lovers.

Kenai has a rather prolific history and booming real estate market, as it is known worldwide for its oil, natural gas, ever-growing tourism and flourishing fishing industry, both commercial and private. The Borough has forty-four schools, all of which distinguish themselves with high standards and national ratings, with an impressive teacher/student ratio. The University of Alaska also manages the Kenai Peninsula Community College. Fishing and tourism services, as well as civil service, schools and various other city office positions make up the major employment opportunities in the community.

Soldotna real estate is located in the Kenai Peninsula, and is a bit rural, with the Kenai River as its natural emblem that flows right through the center of town, which makes it another must fishing spot for those hoping to snag a record breaking prize. Aside from excellent fishing, there are a slew of other outdoor activity to take part in, such as hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rafting and skiing. There is also a town golf course, a children’s park, swimming pools and movie theaters.

Located right on the banks of the river, the Soldotna Visitors Center is an excellent facility to gather information about local attractions and events and things to do in the area, such as the Soldotna Sports Center, where various sporting events take place, the Soldotna Historical Museum and the Centennial Park, where campsites are located, as well as nearby rodeos, baseball and softball events, hokey, ice skating and an assortment of other events and activities.
