About Our School

Pearl Creek Elementary is nestled in a beautiful birch and spruce forest in the hills north of Fairbanks. Our community is comprised of families living throughout the hills and valleys surrounding Pearl Creek. Supportive and hardworking parents and staff along with a great group of children help to make Pearl Creek a wonderful place to learn.     Pearl Creek was designated a Green Star School in 2002  

Mission Statement

Pearl Creek is a community of learners where everyone's unique qualities are accepted and optimal growth is achieved through explorations and cooperation in a safe, respectful, and caring environment.

Community Garden

Calypso Farm and Ecology Center provides educational opportunities through gardening, to students at Pearl Creek.Sixth grade students who recently graduated from Pearl Creek spent their summer tending the garden. They learned about preparing the soil, planting, watering and weeding and eventually harvesting. They also learned about caring for their environment, providing a service to people in their community and what it feels like to earn payment for a job well done.
