History

Enochs High is named for James C. Enochs, superintendent of Modesto City Schools from 1986 to 2004. [6]

The school added a swimming pool in the fall of 2014. [5]

In 2017, Enochs earned a silver medal from U.S. News & World Report for the magazine's Best High Schools ranking, placing 496th in California and 2,594th in the United States. [7]
