Historical InformationPortions of Block 22 have been used for public school purpose since 1887. In 1927, the City approved funds to build a new high school and from 1928 to 1958 the building served as Juneau High School. After a new high school was built on Glacier Avenue, the building was remodeled and became Capital Elementary School. In 1997 it closed as a public school. The Alaska State Legislature acquired the building from the City in 1998. The Legislative Affairs Agency renovated the school into government offices. The building was named in honor of the late Senator and Lieutenant Governor Terry Miller. The present school and gymnasium were built in 1928.
