Welcome!

Welcome to Chief Paul Memorial School of Kipnuk, Alaska. Kipnuk nestles near the Kugkaktlik River in the mid-coast region of the Lower Kuskokwim Delta. The name Kipnuk (Qipneq) means a "bend in the river," referring to where the village is situated.

Our community lives according to the traditions and rhythms of its native Yup'ik heritage. Residents practice subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering. According to the 2014 census, our population was 626.

Our school of approximately 205 students is served by two administrators, twelve certified teachers, four associate teachers of Yugtun, nine instructional aides, and seven classified employees.
