James C. Enochs High School is a high school in Modesto, California. It is a member of the MMC (Modesto Metropolitan Conference) and has multiple MMC championship titles. The school is locally known for having the highest academic performance index of any high school in Stanislaus County, with an API of 820 in 2011.[2] The school has three "career pathway programs": Forensic/Biotech Science, Pre-Vet Science, and Cinema Arts and Graphic Design.[3]
History
The school was constructed with funding from Measure T, passed in 2001 by Modesto voters.[4] The bond provided $65 million to build both Enochs High and Joseph Gregori High School in Modesto. However, when Enochs opened in 2006, it had already cost $101.4 million to build.[5]
Enochs High is named for James C. Enochs, superintendent of Modesto City Schools from 1986 to 2004.[6]
