Chugiak was originally constructed as a joint junior and senior
high school in 1965. Additions were made in 1966, 1969, 1973 and 1987 to
respond to the growth in the Chugiak/Eagle River area. The junior high located
to a new building in 1984. The building is now 280,000 square feet. Current
enrollment is 1942 and is predicted to grow to 2231 by 2002. Fifteen
relocatables will be used this current year. The original facility is 32 years
old. Major work is required to rejuvenate the heating and ventilation and other
basic building components.

environment that is conducive to
learning. Below is a description of what was
