# Media Arts & Communications Academy

Media Arts and Communications Academy (or MACA) was a charter school located in McMinnville, Oregon, United States. MACA was a small, tech focused, college preparatory high school option for McMinnville School District students.

## History

Media 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.

Students now study visual and broadcast communications through the MHS career pathways programs at McMinnville High School.

## Academics

In June 2010 MACA graduated its first high school class, in which 27 students received a high school diploma.

## Athletics

Students from the Media Arts and Communications Academy compete as a part of McMinnville High School athletics.
