As the Home of the Chargers since 1964, McClintock is a public high school serving more than 1,600 students in ninth through twelfth grade in the Tempe Union High School District.
With a mission to “charge forward with purpose, excellence, and tradition,” the faculty at McClintock strive to help all students achieve their best through a wide range of programs and extracurriculars. For instance, the school offers Advanced Placement courses and dual enrollment courses through Arizona State University and Maricopa County Community Colleges so students can earn credits to get a head start college.
In addition, McClintock also hosts the district’s Peggy Payne Academy, which is a school-within-a-school gifted program for students who test in the 97th percentile or above. Career-focused students also can take courses through a vocational education program, with disciplines ranging from marketing and healthcare to automotive and engineering.
Outside of the classroom, students also can pursue passion in more than 50 clubs, ranging from coding to yearbook, or compete in more than a dozen interscholastic sports through the school’s robust athletics program, which houses a football stadium and track, tennis courts, ball fields and an Olympic-style swimming pool on campus.
And when it comes to forming lifelong memories, students can find camaraderie in a calendar of Chargers games, club events, and annual traditions at McClintock High School.

Mcclintock High School is a good school to go to although they do not protect their students and campus as they should. There are many security staff on campus but they don't really pay attention to what goes on around them as much as they should.

McClintock has been a good school. They try to get students involved, but sometimes, students don't have any motivation to put in the work.
4/25/2024
Everyone ranging from the students to the staff are nice though their is some staff that aren't doing their jobs well I feel like they don't define all of them.

Most of the teachers are amazing. However, Molly Sadler in the administration is tearing the school to the ground. Her attitude towards students and parents is disgusting.

I don't recommend this school because the security yell at students all the timeand the teachers be stressful and strict. The teachers don't care if you've learned more knowledge because of their subject. They just want completed homework.

Advice: Do not enroll your child(ren) at MClintock High School. They have so many petty barriers through out their "school" system and department staff. This public school may meet state requirements, but definitely not by teaching and accommodating familes. No tutors available on campus. Teachers h...
