McCall had worked at the Northwest School of Agriculture as a horticulturist since 1911 and was experiment station field manager from 1919 to 1926. He succeeded Austin Dowell as superintendent of the NWSA in 1937 and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1956. Under McCall's leadership, the major campus landscaping look place. During his years as superintendent, enrollment grew to over 400 students annually, and the reputation of the school and experiment station continued to grow in stature.
