North Pole Middle School is located between Ben Eielson Air Force Base to the east and Fort Wainwright to the west.  Because of the proximity, fifty-one percent of NPM students are military connected.  At the last count, 124 students were connected to the Army while 213 students were connected to the Air Force.  NPM has a strong infrastructure in place to support military connected students.  

We also have formal supports in place for military connected students and their families.  Georgia Sandgren is the district's Military Support Coordinator.  Janet Farris is the School Liaison Officer for Fort Wainwright and Earnest Kincade is the School Program Manager for Ben Eieslon Air Force Base.  Each is a valuable contributor to the success of students at NPM.
