Business Academy      

Beginning in the fall of 2025, students in the Business Academy will have new ASD advisors.  We are fortunate to have two experienced advisors at the Alaska Middle College (AMCS) take over the role of counseling students in their academic pathways.  They will be available around August 1, 2025
