The Humanities and International Studies Program at C.K. McClatchy High School is a magnet program that receives applications from students throughout the Sacramento City Unified School District. Although hundreds of students apply, only 140 freshmen are enrolled in the program each year. For information on how to apply to the program as a sophomore, junior, or senior, see “Non-freshmen HISP applicants” below.

In early Fall, HISP opens it doors for two days when prospective students and their parents can visit the CKM campus and view HISP classes in session (see Visitation Days).

The formal application process involves a HISP application (which includes attendance at one of two essay writing sessions) as well as an open enrollment application.
