We invite you to see students and staff honoring language, culture, identity, and academic growth in meaningful ways. If an opportunity below speaks to you, we welcome your involvement. Your gifts and talents can help sustain this extraordinary learning community and enrich students’ experiences."

Unfortunately, College Gate does not have a PTA for the current school year. We are hopeful that some interested parents and teachers will help reinstate this valuable organization. In the meantime, some staff and parents meet on the first Thursday of each month to discuss activities for College Gate. The meetings are held in the school's library starting at 5:15 PM. Please join us!
There are many ways to get involved at College Gate Elementary School and across the Anchorage School District, from volunteering in classrooms to partnering as a local business.
