'''C. K. McClatchy High School''', also known as '''McClatchy High School''', is a high school in the [[Sacramento City Unified School District]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scusd.edu/high-schools|title=High Schools|website=Sacramento City Unified School District|access-date=January 27, 2018}}</ref> It is located in the Land Park area of [[Sacramento, California]]. Established in 1937, it is the oldest operating high school in the district, having succeeded crosstown rival [[Sacramento High School]] following the latter's closure in 2003.  McClatchy High School has over fifty clubs and over 50,000 alumni.

==History==
Population growth in the city of Sacramento during the 1930s prompted the construction of C.K. McClatchy Senior High School, the city's second high school. Construction financing came from local sources as well as the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal economic stimulus program instituted by President Franklin Roosevelt.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mcclatchyhs.net/about_ckm/history.htm |title=History of C.K. McClatchy High School |access-date=2009-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101010050339/http://mcclatchyhs.net/about_ckm/history.htm |archive-date=2010-10-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The school's design was done by local architectural firm of Starks and Flanders, whose existing portfolio included downtown landmarks such as the Elks Temple, the U.S. Post Office, and the Courthouse.
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 bearing the name of [[Charles Kenny McClatchy|C.K. McClatchy]], the late editor and owner of ''[[The Sacramento Bee]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

On September 19, 1937, the school was officially dedicated. Sitting on {{convert|30|acre|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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/ck-mcclatchy-high-school-sacramento-ca|title=C.K. McClatchy High School|date=2017|website=The Living New Deal|access-date=January 27, 2018}}</ref>

The school has served students in the Sacramento area for over 70 years. Many local, state, national, and international figures have graduated from McClatchy. Current enrollment is around 2,400 students.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

In 2002, the school was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=5598e90c-98d8-4006-af74-eb2b359aea97|title=Asset Detail|date=2001|website=National Park Service|access-date=January 27, 2018}}</ref>
