Bartlett High School, Public high school in northeast Anchorage, United States.
Bartlett High School is a public high school in northeast Anchorage, Alaska, designed by CCC/HOK Architects and Planners with Manley & Mayer of Anchorage. Construction began in 1971 and the first classes were held in 1973. The campus was heavily damaged in the magnitude 7.0 earthquake of November 30, 2018. It enrolled 1,416 students in 2023-2024.
The school was founded to serve students from military families at Fort Richardson Army Base and Elmendorf Air Force Base who settled in growing Anchorage. This growth stemmed from the need to accommodate rising student enrollment across the region.
Bartlett's student body is about 43.7% white, 18.9% black, 6.1% Hispanic, 13.5% Asian or Pacific Islander and 17.8% American Indian or Alaska Native. Roughly a quarter of students are military dependents, reflecting the school's attendance area covering northeast Anchorage and Elmendorf Air Force Base.
The school sits in the northeast part of Anchorage with parking and bus routes available for students. Visitors should plan around regular school hours and request permission before entering campus buildings.
The name Begich survives only as "Bartlett - Begich" painted on the southeast wall; the family asked that it stay on the building until a new middle school could carry it, which happened in 2007. The school was designed by CCC/HOK Architects and Planners with Manley & Mayer of Anchorage.
