Bartlett High School was heavily damaged during the 7.0 earthquake that occurred on November 30 , 2018 . 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 was for the senior high school , and the other 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
