School Notes:
  • Robert Service High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Anchorage, Alaska, named for poet Robert Service. The school, part of the Anchorage School District, opened in 1971. Currently, partial renovations to upgrade the school building are ongoing.
  • Service offers honors (for grades 9-10) and Advanced Placement (for grades 11-12) courses. Service also includes a unique school-within-a-school program, The Seminar School. A socratic-style learning program, TSS operates within 2-period block classes, with regular readings on philosophy, science, and literature. Beginning in the fall of 2005, Service High has started another school-within-a-school program, Freshman Academy, which caters exclusively to freshman. The program is intended to curb high rates of failing among freshman by giving ninth-graders more explicit instruction on study skills and basic knowledge.
