As you might have heard last week was a historical one here at McKay High School. For the first time in school history our Boys Soccer team captured a state title at the 5A classification. Alongside that major accomplishment the school's Marching Band competed at the state level for the first time in many years. This is an example of the importance that our extra curricular programs have on our students. As we enter our Winter Season please contact the school if you have questions regarding opportunities for your student(s) to get involved. Great things continue to take place here at McKay -- thank you to all of you for the support!

As previously stated out Boys Soccer team capped off an already successful season with a State Championship on Saturday morning at Hillsboro Stadium. Our Royal Scots defeated the West Albany Bulldogs 2-1. Below you will read All-League Awards that were handed out the past week.

The Royal Scots have received a nimber of all-league honors this season:

At the same time we completed our Fall season with our McKay High School Family Banquet. Below you will see pictures of that special night. Again, thank you to all of our supporters as well as those who make sacrifices so that our students have these opportunities.

Santiam Testing Program

The K-12 COVID-19 Weekly Screening Program is a free and optional program for students to screen for COVID-19 with a saliva sample. You can opt-in and opt-out at any time, consent forms are available in multiple languages. Participation is not required each week but it is strongly encouraged. By screening for COVID-19 weekly we are able to reduce outbreaks by catching positive cases early, especially for asymptomatic individuals. By doing this, we can keep schools open, children in school, and parents in work.
