History
editMedia Arts and Communications Academy opened in 2007 as a part of Oregon's Small School Initiative.
In March 2011, the McMinnville School District officially decided to make MACA a "pathway school" and merge it with McMinnville High School (MHS). The move was said to save the district around $350,000.[3]
Students now study visual and broadcast communications through the MHS career pathways programs at McMinnville High School.[citation needed]
Academics
editIn June 2010 MACA graduated its first high school class, in which 27 students received a high school diploma.[4][5][6]
