High School. It is located in the Land Park area of Sacramento, California
, USA . McClatchy High School is also the second-oldest high school in Sacramento, having been established in 1937. It is currently the oldest high school in Sacramento since the closure of Sacramento High School
. McClatchy High School is home to over fifty clubs, as well as over 50,000 alumnae.

for the Sacramento City Unified School District

At the start of the 2010 school year Small Learning Communities, with the exception of HISP, were eliminated from the campus. Over the summer of 2011 McClatchy teachers were given new classroom assignments, making the campus departmentalized.
The school was designed by the local architectural firm of Starks and Flanders, which had also designed other landmark buildings in the city including the Elks Temple, the U.S. Post Office, and the Courthouse—all located in downtown Sacramento.
On May 20, 1937, local dignitaries and students from the city’s junior high schools gathered to watch the laying of the school’s cornerstone which bears the name of C.K. McClatchy, the late editor and owner of The Sacramento Bee.
On September 19, 1937, the school was officially dedicated. Sitting on 30 acres (121,405.8 m²), the school included a shooting range,and a band room complete with soundproof practice rooms as well as dressing and music rooms near the auditorium. A nurse’s suite with bathrooms and a sun porch and a quartered garden with central fountain in the Moorish style were also features of the new campus.
The school is an architectural hybrid. According to the application for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, CKM “shares the pared down, stylized design typical of many WPA projects. Moderne in its massing and simplicity of line, it carries stylized elements of Classical Revival—perhaps more accurately, ‘Mannerist Revival’—architecture.”
For over 70 years, the school has served students in the Sacramento area. Many local, state, national, and international figures graduated from CKM. Currently, approximately 2,000 students attend the school.
In 2002, the school was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
Population growth in the city of Sacramento during the 1930s prompted the construction of the city’s second high school—C.K. McClatchy Senior High School. Funding to build the school came from local sources and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), one of the New Deal programs instituted by President Franklin Roosevelt to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the Great Depression.The school was designed by the local architectural firm of Starks and Flanders, which had also designed other landmark buildings in the city including the Elks Temple, the U.S. Post Office, and the Courthouse—all located in downtown Sacramento.
On May 20, 1937, local dignitaries and students from the city’s junior high schools gathered to watch the laying of the school’s cornerstone which bears the name of C.K. McClatchy, the late editor and owner of The Sacramento Bee.
On September 19, 1937, the school was officially dedicated. Sitting on 30 acres (121,405.8 m²), the school included a shooting range,and a band room complete with soundproof practice rooms as well as dressing and music rooms near the auditorium.
