District Background

Nestled in the heart of northeast Michigan, Alcona Community Schools is a vibrant hub of learning, innovation, and community pride. Serving students from preschool through 12th grade, our district is dedicated to inspiring every learner to reach their fullest potential—academically, socially, and personally. We take pride in offering a safe, supportive environment where every student is known, valued, and encouraged to dream big.

At Alcona, education goes beyond the classroom. Our teachers are passionate professionals who bring creativity, care, and real-world relevance to their lessons. With small class sizes and a personalized approach, students receive the individual attention they need to thrive. From hands-on STEM opportunities to thriving arts and athletic programs, we believe in developing well-rounded learners who are prepared for both college and career success.

Our campus serves as the heartbeat of the community—where families gather to cheer on the Tigers, celebrate achievements, and build lifelong connections. We embrace our rural roots while preparing students for a global future, integrating technology, innovation, and leadership development into every level of learning.

Partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and higher education institutions strengthen our mission to empower students with the skills and confidence to shape a better world. Our graduates leave Alcona not only with a strong academic foundation, but also with a deep sense of integrity, resilience, and community responsibility.

At Alcona Community Schools, we believe that education should ignite curiosity, cultivate character, and open doors to endless possibilities. Together—students, families, staff, and community—we are building a brighter tomorrow, one learner at a time.
