- McClintock High School is located in Tempe, Arizona, approximately two miles southeast of the campus of Arizona State University. McClintock High School was established in 1964. McClintock moved to the Arizona 4A Conference beginning with the 2001-02 school year. The athletic facilities have been recently renovated.
- McClintock has approximately 1,800 students and offers a wide variety of curriculum, which includes honors, advanced placement, dual credit, and the Peggy Payne Academy for gifted students. McClintock has state recognized ESL and Special Education programs as well and is also an open enrollment campus.
- The fine arts department continues to be successful. The band, orchestra, choir, and drama departments all receive honors on an annual basis.
- Peggy Payne Academy
-
The Peggy Payne Academy for Academic Excellence, or PPA, is a program for gifted students at McClintock. Founded in 2001 with 44 students, the program now serves over 140 students in all major academic subjects.
- Originally the Payne Academy existed as a "school-within-a-school" that administered its own affairs, and by its second year it had its own full-time principal and academic counselor to serve PPA students. This setting was beneficial to students, who could enjoy advanced classes in their strong academic subjects while taking advantage of McClintock's electives and other courses. However, district funding was a problem from the start (paying a full administrative staff and supplying a laptop computer to each student are some examples of initial budget strains as the academy grew.)In 2003, then-district superintendent James Buchanan recommended that the academy be closed as a part of $1 million in budget cuts, though the district did not choose to close the school at this time.In 2004, McClintock staff voted not to host PPA in the 2004-2005 school year. After much debate and protest, the school board mandated that McClintock host the academy on their campus for at least four years. In the next few months, officials from the district, PPA, and McClintock agreed that the Payne Academy would lose its status as an autonomous school, becoming a "gifted program" under McClintock's direction. In place of a principal and counselor, McClintock employs a program director who carries out many of the previous administrators' duties.
- As of 2006, the academy continues to offer advanced academic courses, although they are now taught by McClintock faculty instead of PPA-exclusive teachers, who often displayed higher qualifications and were hired specifically for teaching gifted classes.
- For 2006-2007, Math was taught by a part-time teacher, and many of the founding team had left or were leaving for other schools.
- Music
-
Doreen Press is currently Conducter of Orchestras at McClintock High.The Director of Bands is Nathan Johnston. Both of these people are Conducters at the Phoenix Youth Symphony. And have recently joined the McClintock Family.
- Katie Gerrich, the excelling Director of Choirs at McClintock High School.
- The Choir, Orchestra, and Band receive honors on an annual basis. Touring every year to a different city, the department never fails to exceed expecatitions!
- Athletics
-
McClintock High School opened its doors in 1964 and began playing varsity football that fall. They fielded a winning team in their first season. Their 7-2 record that year earned them an "independent" state championship title, since the school had not yet been assigned to a state division. McClintock also did not originally have its own stadium. Like Tempe High, the team played its home games at Goodwin Stadium until its own lighted stadium was completed.
- Coach Karl Kiefer guided the Chargers from their first year in 1965 through the 1989 season. Under his leadership, McClintock became known as a football powerhouse. Year after year, the Chargers proved to be one of the best high school teams in Arizona, with only one losing season and three state championships. For the students and fans, the most important game was always the annual match between McClintock and Tempe. In 1985, the Chargers' main rivals became Mountain View and Westwood High Schools in Mesa. Now their main rival is Tempe High.
- The Chargers' first state title came in 1977, when the team went undefeated and captured the championship with a 14-9 playoff victory over Phoenix's Washington High School . Three years later, the Chargers posted a 12-2 record and won their second title by defeating Phoenix's Trevor Browne High School in the 1980 championship game. Their third state title in 1989 capped a 13-2 season that ended with a 42-14 playoff victory over Mesa's Westwood High.
