Defense to tip scales for Whittier in showdown (The Eagle-Tribune)
posted on November 5, 2009 at 09:11:36 am
The battle for Commonwealth Conference supremacy will not be at prime time, or at a prime location, but it should be a prime contest. Originally, Whittier (8-0) was scheduled to play Manchester Essex (7-1, 3-0 in CAC Large) at 7 p.m. Saturday, possibly at Endicott College. Instead, they'll be playing at 3:30 p.m. at Manchester High School's old field, which doesn't even have bleachers.

Manchester High School is located in Manchester, Connecticut, United States.
History
Trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson has played at MHS on numerous occasions. Also, in 2007, the well-known vibist and mallet percussion musician, Dave Samuels came to MHS.
Campus
The campus is located in Manchester, not far from CT capital Hartford. Most of the school consists of a building dubbed the "quadrangle", which is shaped like a simple rectangle. The quadrangle is the original primary building and includes the cafeteria and technical education classrooms.
An addition referred to as the "300 wing" was built which is on the upper most floor in the late 1990s to provide better classrooms for the science and computer courses. However, several science courses are still taught within the quadrangle. Also included on the Manchester High School Campus is a 1/4 mile newer (circa 2004) track, football, (and existing) softball and baseball fields. The high school also has a SC sized swimming pool and IOH pool.
An additional wing referred to as the "Freshman Wing" was built for the 2007-2008 school year. It was made specifically to help future incoming freshman classes ease their transition into high school. The first class to use these facilities was the class of 2011.
The Freshman Academy additions also included full-building renovations throughout the school. Renovations included a newer, more efficient steam boiler, energy-efficient corridor lighting and a new fire and sprinkler system to replace the older (and often malfunctional) system.
Alumni
John Paul Starkey-(Graduating Class Of 2005)President and Member of the Executive Committee of the International Baseball Confederacy.
