Eagle Community School
Welcome to
Eagle Community School's website!
We are an eco-friendly school located in Alaska's interior on the banks of the mighty Yukon River.
Current Project
Students of ECS are involved with a citizen science project through UAF. In the Fresh Eyes On Ice program students collect ice and snow depth measurements from the Yukon River. They report their data to UAF and it is disseminated to NASA, USGS, NOAA, the National Weather Service, TCC and other entities that track climate change.

High School Students Place 3rd in the State Battle of the Books Competition
Team Eagle consisted of competitors: Flora McDougall, Genevieve Muldoon, and Grace Muldoon. These students competed first to win the district title then advanced to compete against 31 districts in the state and took the 3rd place title. They have to read books and answer questions regarding details in under one minute to accumulate points.
Fresh Eyes On Ice
Eagle Community School participates in theFresh Eyes On Ice project through UAF over the past four years. This program dubs the students "citizen scientists" and they take snow and ice depth measurements on the Yukon River each winter. Their data is collected and diseminated through UAF to NASA, NOAA, USGS, TCC, National Weather Service, and the GLOBE Science program. The ground data collected by the students helps NASA and others to calibrate their satellites. Eagle School has been recognized by NASA for our help in the study of arctic climate change.
