Constructed in
1937 as Sacramento's second high school, C.K. McClatchy has earned an
enviable reputation in the community. Countless graduates over the years
have entered the fields of law, medicine, politics, education, nursing
and the world of industry.
This school is
honored with an active alumni association, parent booster groups, and a
wealth of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in athletics and
the performing and visual arts.
C.K. McClatchy
houses the Humanities and International Studies magnet school. This
"school-within" is noted by colleges and universities as an outstanding
university preparation program. Graduates from this program have been
admitted to state universities, private colleges as well as "ivy league"
universities. The program has high expectations and is grounded in the
study of classical literature, geography, world cultures, history,
political science and international studies. Students are required to
take classes in foreign language, higher mathematics, science and the
arts.
McClatchy also
features four Small Learning Communities (SLCs) that prepare students
for college and the world of work. Partnerships with the community offer
students opportunities to explore professions and college majors in
Business, Health and Human Services, Design Solutions and Arts and
Media. Students in all SLCs and HISP take field trips, participate in
job shadowing and internships and hear speakers describe a variety of
college/career options.
The Air Force
Junior ROTC program works with students who desire to develop leadership
potential. The program provides an outstanding scholastic program in the
area of air dynamics, science, history and geography. Building
self-esteem through practice and through responsibility is a prime
factor to which students are attracted.
The general
academic program at C.K. McClatchy is founded in the traditions of our
past. Emphasis is placed on developing the skills of writing, thinking
and computing.
