Ketchikan’s school board is set to recognize the work of a high school teacher who has made world peace an integral part of her lesson plans.
The U.S. Institute of Peace chose English teacher Sarah Campbell to participate in their 2019 Peace Teachers Program. She discussed her work at a virtual event sponsored by the Congressionally-funded nonpartisan institution last week.
“Being part of this program has been tremendous and really given me the knowledge and the confidence to bring peace education into my curriculum at Ketchikan High School,” Campbell said.

Critics of Ketchikan’s school superintendent say she’s given short-shrift to Alaska Native educators and students. The school board says they are looking into the allegations as they continue to assess her future with the district.
Beth Lougee has been on the job for nearly two years. As the top administrator she’s in charge of Ketchikan’s elementary, middle and high schools.
She’s currently undergoing a routine evaluation as she enters her second full year.
But at a Dec. 10 school board meeting at the High School library, a Ketchikan tribal leader urged the school board to scrutinize the superintendent’s treatment of the district’s Alaska Native staff.
