History

In June 2014, the Santa Clara Unified School District purchased 59.4 acres of the former Agnews Developmental Center to build a K–12 educational facility.[12] [13] Construction began in 2016, with the elementary and middle schools finishing in 2021.[14] [15] Kathleen MacDonald High School was completed the following year and opened to freshmen in August 2022.[16] [17] It is named after Kathleen MacDonald, a longtime teacher and administrator at Adrian C. Wilcox High School.[18] [19]

Academics

As of the 2024–2025 school year, MacDonald High School offers four Advanced Placement classes and six honors-level courses.[20] The school emphasizes three educational qualities: a design thinking culture, learning communities, and inquiry-based learning.[21] MacDonald also offers time for Personalized, Competency-Based Learning (PCBL) twice each week to support and encourage students.[22]
