White Mountain, Alaska 99784

The Haviland's have lived in White Mountain for the past 8 years. White Mountain is a village of about 195 people with a school population of 54 k-12. The village is on the banks of the Fish River about 18 miles in from the coast. We are about 70 miles south east of Nome.
Andy and Becca are there during the school year while Holly is in Anchorage for part of year working for Everts Air Cargo as a cargo agent. Denise also lives in Anchorage and works for the same company as a customer service agent. During the summer Andy and Becca join Holly and Denise in Anchorage. The village name comes from the hill you see in the picture below which is White Mountain hill and is made of very white rock.

The new school will be built above the city garage which is the large roof you see in the trees towards the upper left of the picture. This picture is about 3 years old.
