Academics

Through our career technology courses, McLain High School students are given hands-on opportunities to learn industry standards for careers in business, information technology, manufacturing and marketing.

McLain students can take part in a wide range of elective classes that further enhance their educational experience.

We believe that fine arts education is essential for the development of the whole child. It provides our students unique experiences that allow them to explore their passions, express themselves creatively, and teach them valuable lessons about self-motivation, dedication, teamwork and communication.

All students deserve the chance to learn how to communicate effectively so they are prepared for college, career, and life. Through our English Language Arts, students develop in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They learn to make meaning, write clearly and think critically.

Math allows us to make sense of chaos, be musicians, carpenters, mechanics, doctors, engineers, scientists, and more. All students can learn math! Our students study, engage and learn challenging mathematical concepts that will prepare them for college, career, and life.

Every move we make involves decisions that include the application of scientific principles. Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) occupations and fields are experiencing exponential growth leading to rewarding and challenging careers.

Social studies develops students who can make informed decisions and participate as responsible citizens in an increasingly diverse, global society.  Students who are well-versed in social studies are able to enhance their knowledge, perspectives, and character to more deeply understand themselves and the world around them.

Junior and senior students who qualify may take courses at TulsaTech, which offers a wide range of opportunities to prepare students for success in a career. Students can choose from programs including health sciences, aerospace, pre-engineering, automotive/alternative fuels, and information technology.

In these courses, students will develop basic skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
