History

Prior to 1876, high school students in the McMinnville area attended school at McMinnville College. From 1876 to 1910, McMinnville offered a two-year high school education through the Cook School (a single schoolhouse incorporating all grades). High school students took courses on the top floor of the building. The current four-year high school program was adopted in fall 1910 with the opening of McMinnville High School. It is to this school that the current McMinnville High School traces its lineage.

The oldest wing of the current high school opened in 1956, and has since been remodeled ten times to accommodate the growing student population of McMinnville, Oregon. The building was most recently remodeled in 2009.

Hayden and Abby Catt attended the school, and participated on the swim team, before moving to Texas, where they stood trial for robbing banks there.

Academics

In 2008, 75% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 459 students, 343 graduated, 60 dropped out, 3 received a modified diploma, and 53 are still in high school.

Engineering and Aerospace Sciences Academy

Engineering and Aerospace Sciences Academy (EASA) is a specialized program at McMinnville High School that offers students specialized courses in engineering and aerospace science. Students are instructed by engineers and technicians who lecture, serve as resources for student research, and work with students on a variety of real and simulated technical problems and projects.
