Welcome to McGavock
McGavock was the first truly comprehensive high school built in Nashville. Our students have access to a wide, promising variety of challenging classes, Academy pathways and a superior arts program. Our faculty collaborates to adjust instruction for different learning styles so that classes can be made personal for each learner.
Our academies 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.
Our extracurricular activities are extensive and include 13 TSSAA sanctioned sports teams, band and theatre programs, an International Club, and Student Council, 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.
Each academy's advisory board welcomes parent input and involvement in their children’s education. We believe that working together is the best way to help our children succeed.
McGavock's Vision
McGavock High School will function as a school community that is purposely designed to embrace the diverse backgrounds of all students, provide equitable access to multiple success paths, and prepare students to thrive in an ever-changing world. Our graduates will exhibit qualities of confident and capable individuals who are goal oriented and compassionate members of society.
