Academics

Academic Programs and Courses at McGavock High School

Academies of Nashville Pathways

 

Our Academies of Nashville Pathways give students opportunities to jump-start their careers, starting as soon as they arrive and continuing as they earn college credits and nationally recognized certifications upon graduation.

Our Freshman Academy invites students to visit a college and begin thinking about their future at the career exploration fair.

From there, we offer four career Academies: the Academy of Hospitality and Finance, the Academy of Aviation and Transportation; the Academy of Life Science and Law; and the Academy of Digital Design and Communication. Each academy's advisory board welcomes parent input and involvement in their child's education.

Enrichment and Support

McGavock also provides students with many different opportunities to learn and enroll in advanced coursework. Learn more about the advanced academic opportunities we offer on our Advanced Academics page.

Extracurricular Activities

Our extracurricular activities are extensive and include 13 TSSAA sanctioned sports teams, band and theatre programs, student council, international club, to name a few. We are also the home of a student-run U.S. Community Credit Union branch, open to students, faculty and staff for daily banking. All students can open a savings account and those 15 years of age or older can open a checking account with a custom McGavock Raider debit card.
