History

In December of 1962, voters passed a bond that would relieve overcrowding in North Salem and South Salem High Schools.

The naming process was confusing. Many proposed for the school to be named "North Salem High School" and the "old" North Salem High School to be named "Capitol High School." However, it was decided that the school would be named after Charles L. McNary. [3]

Academics

In 2008, 83% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 444 students, 368 graduated, 47 dropped out, and 29 were still in high school the following year. [4] [5]

In 2021, the graduation rate was 91%. [6]

In 2022, 91% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 513 students, 478 graduated and 35 dropped out. [7]
