Description
C.K. McClatchy Senior High School is located at 3066 Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento, California. Named after “Sacramento Bee” newspaper editor and owner Charles Kenny McClatchy, the school was built in 1937 by way of Public Works Administration funding and a $485,000 bond, approved by the citizens of Sacramento. When McClatchy opened in the fall of 1937, it brought tremendous relief to Sacramento High School, which had held the distinction of being the largest three year high school west of the Mississippi River. Grabbing red and white as its school colors and Leo, the Lion, as its mascot, the McClatchy pride has blazed its way through two centuries, producing distinguished alumni like United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, writer Joan Didion, Major League Baseball player Larry Bowa, and late United States Congressman Robert Matsui.
