McClintock High School
THE CHARGER SPARK
Charging Forward with Tradition
Spring 2014-2015 School Year
Mr. Derek Hoffland – Principal
We are currently preparing for an AdvancED
accreditation visit that is scheduled for the spring
of 2016. AdvancED (http://www.advanc-ed.org/)
is an organization whose primary purpose is to
provide a systematic process of “quality assurance designed primarily
to distinguish schools adhering to a set of educational standards. The
accreditation process is also known in terms of its ability to effectively
drive student performance and continuous improvement in education.”
In short, accreditation through AdvancED helps to ensure that schools
and districts are using current research and effective practices in order
to best serve their communities.

The AdvancED system involves aligning school practices to five
standards:





Purpose and Direction
Governance and Leadership
Teaching and Assessing for Learning
Resources and Support Systems
Using Results for Continuous Improvement
Currently, our School Improvement Steering Committee, comprised of
staff, students, and community members, is reviewing how we at
McClintock align our practices with these AdvancED standards. The
document that reflects how we do this is called our Continuous
Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is an extensive document which lists
each standard and the indicators that break each standard down into
subcomponents, and then each of these is represented by a number of
strategies and action steps that reflect how the school accomplishes
the ideals expressed in the standards and indicators. Lastly, artifacts
are collected to show how these strategies and action steps have been
successfully implemented at the school.
The entire process should be ongoing
and should result in a school community
that is continually reflecting on practices
in order to serve the entire community to
the best of our ability.

(Principal’s Message, continued from p.1)
Instrumental in the accreditation process is developing a statement of what we strive to do at
McClintock, that is, our vision. A couple of years ago we developed our vision statement:
McClintock High School provides a comprehensive, innovative, and
diverse curriculum supported by an array of extracurricular
programs. With community and staff support, students meet high
expectations and develop personal responsibility, leading to
rewarding futures. McClintock High School students find purpose in
education, value in excellence, and meaning in Charger traditions.
We developed this statement with the involvement of community members, parents, teachers,
classified staff, and administrative staff. Our strategies and action steps associated with the CIP
will provide focus in moving toward our vision, and it is imperative that we continue to involve all
groups of stakeholders in these conversations. There are a couple ways to be involved, one of
which is to take part in the periodic surveys that are posted on our website and communicated via
the weekly newsletters. Another way to be involved is to take part in our school improvement conversations by becoming a member of our School Improvement Steering Committee. To do this,
contact me at [email protected] or 480-752-8625. It is very important to us and to the
AdvancED process that we involve a wide variety of interested stakeholders in our discussions to
make McClintock a school that strives to grow, improve and serve our community.
Best Regards,
Derek Hoffland
McClintock’s
yearbook, the
Historian, is a
finalist for the
Pacemaker
Award from the
National
Scholastic Press
Association in
Minnesota. Yearbooks from all over the country
compete for this top award. McClintock and
Corona del Sol were the only two yearbooks in
Arizona to receive this recognition!
Awards will be announced in Denver in April,
when thousands of student journalists attend the
national convention.
McClintock received $124,809 in
tax credit donation revenue
for calendar year 2014.
This revenue is very important for
allowing our students to participate
in a wide variety of activities. We
are extremely grateful for the
support of our local community for
this generous sum!
The strongest factor for success is self-esteem:
Believing you can do it.
Believing you deserve it.
Believing you will get it.

Senior Credit Checks
Please see your, counselor, to determine
graduation status. It is the responsibility of the
parent and student to ensure that the student is
on-track for graduation and for entrance into post
-secondary institutions.
Senior students will not be placed on the
marching list for graduation if all correspondence
class grades and testing-out grades are not
posted with the records
clerk by Friday, May
15, 2015. There will be
no exceptions to this
timeline.
The key is not the "will to win"
- everybody has that.
It is the will to prepare to win
that is important.

SAT Subject Tests: The Average (Mean)

The average score varies from test to test. This is
because different groups of students take different

Understanding Your Scores
In addition to your scores, your SAT score
reports also include percentiles and score
ranges. Admissions staff use the percentiles and
ranges to evaluate the scores because no single
score can tell everything about how you performed on the test. Keep in mind that colleges
use more than your SAT scores when making
admissions decisions. Your high school record is
most important, and colleges may also consider
essays, recommendations, interviews, and your
involvement in extracurricular activities.
SAT Reasoning Test
SAT scores are reported on a scale from 200800, with additional subscores reported for the
essay (ranging from 2-12) and for multiplechoice writing questions (on a 20-80 scale). Your
scores tell college admissions staff how you did
compared with other students who took the test.
For example, if you scored close to the mean or
average—about 500 on SAT critical reading and
500 on SAT mathematics—admissions staff
would know that you scored as well as about
half of the students who took the test nationally.
SAT Subject Tests
All currently administered Subject Test scores
are reported on a scale from 200-800, with
Subject Test subscores being reported on a
scale from 20 to 80. Reading and listening subscores are reported for all Language Tests with
Listening, and a usage subscore is also reported
for the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean tests.
The English Language Proficiency Test™
(ELPT™), which was last administered in
January 2005, is reported on a scale from 901 to
999 with subscores that are reported on a scale
from 1 to 50. Your scores tell college admissions
staff how you did compared
with other students who took
the test.

If you want to excuse your student’s absences,
phone the Attendance Office no later
than the morning of the absence at

while remaining anonymous. If you have witnessed a
crime, or if you know of a crime that was committed
or will be committed, simply call and leave the
information in the Silent Witness voicemail box. You
will not be contacted unless you provide your contact
information. All tips remain anonymous.
Please keep in mind this program is intended to
assist McClintock High School and the Tempe Police
Department in investigations and is not intended for
crimes in progress or for emergencies. Dial 911 in
those instances.
Page 9
The number of students who are swept on an hourly
basis continued to decrease through the first
semester and the first half of this semester. The
average number of students swept from second period through seventh has
been about 2 students each period. That equates to roughly 1800 students in
class, on time, every period — except for first period. For first period, the
average is about 12 students swept each day.
It is very important that students not miss class time, and it will take a team
effort to achieve this. Students should do everything possible to be in their classes on time.
Parents can encourage their students to do this, and should remember to arrive prior to 7:30
when dropping them off in the morning. Teachers, administrators, maintenance workers, and
security guards will continue to help hurry students toward classes throughout the day.
Working together, it should be possible can get the number of students going to Sweep down to
zero.
2:30 Intervention Program
The 8th hour intervention program runs from 2:30 to 3:15 three days a week. The
program’s objective is to provide a more systematic plan for students to receive
additional academic support. All students be should be challenged in the classroom
and provided the supportive resources to be successful in meeting those challenges,
helping them to learn to reach their potential in all endeavors. The 8th hour
intervention program is designed to provide additional resources to assist students in
meeting their academic goals.
The MHS School Improvement Steering Committee thoroughly reviewed the first year’s 8th hour
program in order to make improvements where appropriate. Monitoring and adjusting of this
program will continue to be part of McClintock’s improvement process.
There are 8th hour interventions three days a week:
Mondays: Science will be the top priority, followed by Social Studies, Foreign Language,
CTE, Fine Arts, and PE.
 Tuesdays: English will be the top priority.
 Thursdays: Math will be the top priority.

Students will continue to be assigned to 8th hour intervention when they are not completing work
and/or are not passing the class. It is a requirement that students attend when assigned, and we
appreciate parental assistance in making this happen. For additional details, please go to the
McClintock home page.
It is important to state that students may attend even if they are not assigned; this program is
designed to provide assistance for all students who need or want additional help.
Late bus service will continue to be provided for students on the three days the program is run.

How did McClintock High School get its name?
1)
2)
3)
4)
It sounded cool. NO!
It was named after a hair dresser from New York. NO!
The first drummer for the Beatles was named McClintock. NO!
After the street. NO! (Well, kind of...)
McClintock High School is named after James H. McClintock (1864-1934). He was born
in Sacramento, California. Captain McClintock commanded Troop B for Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, long
before Roosevelt became president of the United States. The famed Rough Riders were a major force during
the Spanish-American War as a mounted fighting unit. As the legend goes, the Rough Riders became known
as the "Chargers" for the way they went into battle. We can all imagine Teddy Roosevelt saying "Let’s go,
Chargers!" A Rough Rider was not allowed to leave his duty, even to tend to the wounded, and the motto
"Once a Charger, Always a Charger" came into being. Please note that McClintock’s mascot is not a lightening
bolt as they have in San Diego!
After McClintock's time with the Rough Riders, he settled in the valley and was elected a colonel in what
would become the National Guard. McClintock was a major player in the development of our area and was
appointed postmaster of Phoenix. He continued a career in writing and wrote for his brother’s newspaper,
The Salt River Herald. He wrote for newspapers, magazines, and literary works. McClintock was a member of
the expedition to survey the site of the future Roosevelt Dam. McClintock was also a member of the first
graduating class of the Territorial Normal School, now Arizona State University. Colonel McClintock later
served as Arizona's official state historian, thus being honored not only in the naming of a high school, but
also in the selection of the name of the yearbook, the Historian.
ID Cards
All students are required to have an ID
card and carry it with them at all times.
New students, including all freshmen, receive a free
ID card. ID cards can be picked up in the Library
before school, after school, and during lunch.
Returning students are required to
use their ID cards from previous
years.
If a student has lost his/her ID card, a
replacement may be purchased at the
Bookstore for $5.00.

It is the belief of the faculty, staff, and administration that school pride, morale,
and image are influenced by the general appearance of our students. McClintock
High School expects student dress and grooming to reflect high standards of
personal conduct, so that each student’s attire promotes a positive, safe, and
healthy atmosphere within our school. A committee of parents, students, and staff
have created a set of dress code guidelines. We want to provide freedom for
students to express themselves within the parameters listed below:
Attire or accessories which advertise, display, and/or promote any drug, alcohol,
tobacco, sexual activity, or violence, or feature language which is disrespectful,
lewd, vulgar, profane or obscene, and/or express bigotry towards any group or
person, are not allowed.
Any attire or grooming deemed to be gang-related is prohibited when such attire or
grooming creates an atmosphere of threat, intimidation or undue pressure, disrupts
the educational environment/process, or interferes with curriculum goals/educational
objectives.
Dress, jewelry, skin markings temporary or permanent, and other accessories
that present a risk to the health, safety, and general welfare of students, or
which express obscenities, expose the chest (no cleavage), abdomen, upper
thighs or buttocks are prohibited.
Body piercing that is a safety hazard and/or hinders performance in the classroom
is not allowed.
Shoes will be worn. Slippers/house shoes are not appropriate footwear at school.
Sunglasses are prohibited in the classroom.
Hats and other accessories may be allowed/disallowed at faculty/staff
discretion.
Pajama tops and/or bottoms are not appropriate school attire.
Undergarments (such as bra straps, boxers, etc.) should not be
visible.
Exceptions may be made for uniforms, formal attire, and/or
costumes.

Cell Phones
and
Other Personal Electronic Devices
Cell phones and other personal electronic devices have become an
interruption to classroom instruction.
These items may not be used during class time.
*** They must be turned off and stored out of sight. ***
If a student takes out and/or uses a phone and/or other electronic
device for any reason during class time, it can be confiscated by
the teacher.
On the first violation, the device will be confiscated and turned in
to Administration. The student may reclaim it after school that same
day.
On the second violation, the student’s parent/guardian must
personally pick up the device from Administration.
A third violation will result in two days of off-campus suspension.

McClintock’s DECA
members collected an
impressive 929 pairs of
jeans in this year’s Teens for
Jeans drive! This year,
DECA teamed up with
Connolly Middle School in
order to gather even more
jeans for this charitable
program. The Connolly
students rallied to the cause
and contributed 611 pairs of
the total!
DECA members Sarah
Sweeney and Sara Feipel
managed this year’s drive.
The jeans collected will go to
homeless youths in the local
community, so the program
has a direct impact right
here in Arizona.
Well done, everyone!
Small deeds done
are better than
great deeds planned.

McClintock's 2014-15 wrestling team had some impressive talent. Although the squad had only a 10-23 dual
meet record for the season, this was due to the low number of participants on the team, as the Chargers
fielded some of the state's best wrestlers. "When you have to forfeit four or five matches and give up 30
points every match, it makes it extremely difficult to win a dual meet," said Wrestling Coach Robert Groves,
now in his fourth year at the helm.
The team placed 6th at the Section II Championships on February 7th. The tournament for State
Championship took place on February 21st, where with only three wrestlers competing, McClintock finished
11th out of 48 teams. Unlike at the regular season’s dual meet format, Coach Groves said, "You don't need a
lot of guys to do well as a team at State."
Freshmen Gator and Marco Groves followed up their highly successful junior high seasons with an
impressive start to their high school campaigns. Gator went into the state tournament as the top seed in his
weight class, where he captured the 120-pound crown at state with a 7-3 decision over senior Josh Olsen
from team champion Cibola. He finished the season 53-1.
Gator's twin Marco wrestles in a different weight class at 132 pounds, where he was undefeated and
dominating. He headed into Sectionals as the top seed at his weight class, with an overall record of 40-4,
with 20 pins and eight technical falls. He led the Charger team with 41 3-point nearfalls. At State, Marco
pulled out a dramatic four-point move in the waning seconds to knock off defending State Champion senior
Kyle Ford of Gila Ridge in the 132-pound title bout, and finished the season at 48-4.
The brothers are McClintock's first state champions since 1993, and the first freshmen twins to win titles in
the history of Arizona wrestling. Both were undefeated in the weights they competed at in the state
tournament. Both shattered McClintock's prior record of 44 wins in a season.
Junior Noah Bello also had a great year. Noah led the team with 96 takedowns, and at 38-5 was the top
seed for sectionals at 152 pounds. While qualifying for the state tournament during his first two seasons, he
hadn't yet placed there. He took second in his weight class at sectionals to earn his way again to State this
year, where he fell one match short of placing and concluded the season at 42-8.

Other wrestlers on the Charger team who made it to Sectionals included Senior Bradie Hendrix. Despite
having to sit out the entire first semester because of an injury suffered during the football season, Bradie
came back to become second seed for sectionals at 220 pounds. Unfortunately, an injury in his first match
there left him unable to continue in the tournament for a chance to compete at State. "He has wrestled a
two-time defending state champ and a couple of state placers, so his record might not be impressive, but
he is one tough kid," said Groves.
Also at Sectionals were 106-pound sophomore Alex Kunitada, 126-pound senior Emerson Senseman,
138-pound sophomore Crystian Rodriguez, and 145-pound sophomore Daniel Felix. Unfortunately, all
of them lost in the consolation semi-finals and couldn’t continue on to State.
