Public school in Tempe, Arizona, United States

McClintock High School is a high school located in Tempe, Arizona, approximately two miles southeast of the campus of Arizona State University. McClintock High School was established in 1964.[4] The school was named after James H. McClintock.[5]

McClintock has approximately 1,900 students and offers a wide variety of curriculum, which includes honors, advanced placement, dual credit, and the Peggy Payne Academy for gifted students.[4] The school also has state-recognized ELL and Special Education programs. McClintock is an open enrollment campus.

The campus was designed in 1964 by local architect Kemper Goodwin.[6]

Artist Ka Graves served as artist-in-residence at McClintock High School in 1979 and 1980.[7]

[edit]

The Peggy Payne Academy for Academic Excellence, or PPA, is a program for student at McClintock. Founded in 2001 with 4 students, the program now serves hundreds of students in all major academic subjects.[8]

McClintock High School played its home games at Goodwin Stadium until its own lighted stadium, Jim Lyon’s Stadium, was constructed.[9]

McClintock’s main rival in football has been Tempe High School since 1964. Tempe and McClintock have annual, non-conference rivalry games. McClintock has been the historical favorite in the matchup, although returning to their dominance since 2017.[10][clarification needed]

The Chargers’ first state football 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.[citation needed]
