As a member of the Alpena Public Schools team, imagine waking up where you vacation; no more sitting on the highway on Friday night and Sunday evening. You can be employed in a modern community that is also traffic-free. Purchase a home for a fraction of the cost that you would pay in metropolitan areas. Enjoy dozens of pristine beaches, trails, rivers and forests without fighting the masses for access.

Dive shipwrecks, explore one of the most fossil-rich spots on earth, and still be close enough to enjoy a night on the town. Our wonderful, walkable downtown features restaurants, art galleries, shops and pubs, including multiple micro-breweries and a winery. Alpena offers so many opportunities as the recreational, cultural, economic, and historical hub of Northeast Michigan. We serve a population of approximately 3,800 students, across 9 different school buildings, in one of the largest geographic districts in the State of Michigan.

Alpena Public Schools covers more than 600 square miles, encompassing all of Alpena County and a portion of Presque Isle County.
