EspañolSERVICE HIGH SCHOOL
'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. The school completed partial renovation in 2005. Its school colors are green and gold and its mascot is the cougar. Service High School's principal is Lou Pondolfino.
Service High serves approximately 2000 students with about 90 teachers, with students feeding in largely from Hanshew Middle School. Each day is divided into 6 periods each 50 minutes long with six-minute passing periods and a 35-minute lunch. The class schedule does not change throughout the week, except on school assembly days, where periods are shorter in order to allow time for the assembly.
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 (TSS). 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 freshmen. 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.
The school news paper is the Cougarosity, and the yearbook is the Silhouette.
