- Bartlett High School is a high school in Anchorage, Alaska. The high school enrolled 1,729 students as of 2007. Built in 1971, the school originally housed both Bartlett High School, named after U.S. Senator Bob Bartlett, and Begich Junior High School, named after U.S. Representative Nick Begich.
- Bartlett is part of the Anchorage School District and is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. Its attendance area is northeast Anchorage, Fort Richardson, and Elmendorf Air Force Base, and approximately 25% of its students are military dependents. The student body is racially and ethnically diverse. About 43.7% of the students are white, 18.9% are black, 6.1% are Hispanic, 13.5% are Asian/Pacific Islander, and 17.8% are American Indian/Alaska Native.
- The school district's 2003-2004 Profile of Performance reported three goals: "Improve school climate" (attained), "increase percentage of students passing HSGQE Math by 5%" (partially attained) and "reduce dropout rate" (attained). The dropout rate in 2003-4 was 7.3%.
- Bartlett is classified as a 4A school by the Alaska School Activities Association.
- Name of school
-
Like other senior-junior school complexes in the Anchorage School District during the 1960s to the early 1970s, the complex housing Bartlett was originally given two names, one for the senior high school and one for the junior high school. In line with this, the complex housing Bartlett was called Bartlett-Begich, denoting Bartlett High School (named after Sen. Bob Bartlett) and Begich Junior High School (named after Rep. Nick Begich). During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Anchorage School Board began to change all of these complexes into high schools and to create separate junior high schools (now known as middle schools) as new facilities could be constructed, in each case moving the original junior high school name as the new junior high school was built. Hence, the complexes formerly known as Chugiak-Gruening became Chugiak High School and Gruening Middle School, Service-Hanshew became Service High School and Hanshew Middle School, and so on.
- In November 2006, the Anchorage School Board made official that the name of a new middle school in Anchorage would be named after Begich. Nicholas J. Begich Middle School opened for classes on August 22, 2007.
- Vandalism
-
Like other Anchorage School District schools, Bartlett High School has occasionally been the target of vandalism. In May 1999, six Bartlett seniors were suspended and their right to march at commencement with their class revoked after they carved their names into acoustic ceiling tiles in the senior hallway. The Anchorage School Board later relented and permitted the six students to participate in graduation ceremonies.
- A more serious case occurred on November 2, 2003 when a stand-alone relocatable classroom was destroyed by fire, causing an estimated $89,500 in damage. Two Anchorage teenagers — an 18-year-old former Bartlett student and a 16-year-old Steller Secondary student — were arrested a week later and charged with tampering with evidence, criminally negligent burning and criminal mischief. The adult defendant in the case was ultimately found guilty on an amended charge of Criminal Mischief 3 (Damage $500+) after a no-contest plea.
- Sex scandals
-
Teacher Gordon "Satch" Carlson was fired in disgrace for having sexual relations with a female student. Teacher Richard Von Kennen retired prior to taking a plea agreement to consent with a minor in 1997.
- Carlson, an English, journalism and film teacher, and columnist for the Anchorage Daily News and AutoWeek in the 1980s (and one-time editor of the school newspaper, then called the Toklat Ledger), faced three felony criminal charges in August 1989 involving his sexual relationship with a 17-year-old Bartlett senior that could have sent him to prison for eight years. He received a five-year prison sentence.
