Go MAC Band!

Recognized in 2015 as the National GRAMMY Signature School, McCallum is home to Austin ISD’s district-wide Fine Arts Academy. The Academy provides an exemplary arts education program for AISD high school students from all across the district, including students who attended public, private, and home middle schools.
