Using schools as hubs for public activity makes sense. Schools are one of our major resources and investments. What better way to make use of them than through community activities? Traditional school hours leave plenty of time to schedule them for other uses. 

School classrooms and recreational facilities, including four gymnasiums, the Blatchley Middle School pool and track, and multipurpose rooms are used by thousands of Sitkans' each year. Affordable fees are charged for Community Schools programs with scholarships available to low-income youth.
