Dimond High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A.J. Dimond High School is a public high school in Anchorage in the U.S. state of Alaska. Named for former Congressional delegate Anthony J. Dimond, it opened in 1967 and was the third high school in Anchorage. The original building housed both Dimond High and Jane Mears Junior High School until a separate building for Mears Junior High opened in 1986.
The original school contained gymnasiums, pool, archery range, planetarium, small and large theater, and shared library. The design was single story (with the exception of the library) detached buildings connected with covered walkways to reduce earthquake risk[citation needed].
In April 1999, Anchorage voters approved the construction of a new building for Dimond. The new building opened in fall 2003. Today, Dimond is home to approximately 2,000 students and over 180 faculty and staff. The current principal is Cheryl Guyett.
Dimond is part of the Anchorage School District.
