Our School
At McClintock High School, students find purpose in education, value in excellence, and meaning in Charger traditions. Established in 1964, McClintock has a long history of academic and athletic excellence. Our diverse population reflects more than 20 spoken languages. The campus is conveniently located and we are a neighborhood school, yet minutes away from major thoroughfares.
McClintock provides supports to incoming freshmen as they make the transition from middle school to high school by placing freshmen on a team with common teachers. Through these efforts, students receive more individualized instruction and experience a more nurturing, personalized environment. The team members also, almost naturally, become mentors to the students to provide social and emotional support. The development of ninth grade teams has increased student achievement and helped keep students on track for graduation.
McClintock students benefit from a comprehensive curriculum that includes standard, honors, advanced placement (AP) and dual enrollment/college credit courses. The Peggy Payne Academy, located on the McClintock campus, is designed for the gifted student who prefers a smaller “school-within-a-school” environment. Students are provided with a rigorous curriculum, career-shadowing opportunities, internships, and a personalized learning environment.
Rated an A-rated school by the Arizona Department of Education, two years in a row, we use research-based practices and innovative instruction to deliver challenging and engaging academics designed to meet or exceed state and national standards and promote life-long learning.
McClintock enriches students’ experience through cutting-edge technologies that include a foreign language computerized language laboratory, departmental computer labs, a state-of-the-art multimedia program, as well as SmartBoards in our classrooms.
