It’s free, no appointments are needed, and KPBSD will provide transportation for our students.

“We are excited to have so many post-secondary institutions visiting our district to meet with our students,” said Sean Dusek, assistant superintendent of instruction. “This partnership allows our students to explore their college and career aspirations in a convenient and safe location. This is due to the large number of students in our district that are qualified for post-secondary education.”
Specifics
KPBSD juniors and seniors will attend with their schools. To attend, KPBSD students need to sign-up with their school counselor. Our Connections Homeschool students, IDEA and Cook Inlet Academy students can sign-in at the door.
