James C. Enochs High School
History
The school was constructed with funding from Measure T, passed in 2001 by Modesto voters. 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.
Enochs High is named for James C. Enochs, superintendent of Modesto City Schools from 1986 to 2004.
The school added a swimming pool in the fall of 2014.
In 2017, Enochs earned a silver medal from U.S. News & World Report for the magazine's Best High Schools ranking, placing 496th in California and 2,594th in the United States.
