Cody Walker, a high school student with the Kusilvak Career Academy, sits in the cockpit of a C-17 Globemaster III on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, April 5, 2024. Representing the Lower Yukon School District north of Bethel, the academy is one of many Alaska boarding schools but stands alone as the only one to allow students to attend one academic quarter at a time.
