McEachern is not a typical high school campus. Sprawling over 240 acres, it has 16 buildings, its own stadium, separate football/soccer practice field, track facility, cheer facility, baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, greenhouse, and Nature Center with trails and gardens tended by local Master Gardeners.
The school was originally established as the Seventh District Agricultural and Mechanical School in 1908 on land donated by John Newton McEachern, co-founder of Life of Georgia Insurance Company. It became the Macland Consolidated School in 1933, and officially was named John McEachern High School in 1975. The McEachern Endowment Fund was created in 1948 to provide private funds to the school for the furthering of the education of all students who attend the school.
