Ankeny Community School District

Serving one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation, the Ankeny Community School District enjoys a reputation as one of the Midwest's premier public school districts. United by a commitment to ensure every learner is prepared to achieve a lifetime of personal success, our district offers boundless opportunities in academics, athletics, the arts, and other extracurricular activities. As our community grows, it is becoming increasingly diverse, with close to 20% of our students identifying as people of color. Our district is deeply committed to equity and inclusion and to ensuring the success of all children. We believe all students benefit when they learn from and interact with teachers and leaders from a variety of backgrounds, and so we strive to build a diverse team of exceptional adults laser-focused on doing what is best for the young people in their care. The Ankeny Community School District does not discriminate based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, physical attributes, physical or mental ability or disability, ancestry, political party preference, military affiliation, socioeconomic status, or familial status.
