Manchester High School is a high school located in Chesterfield County, Virginia founded from Elkhardt School in 1924 when Elkhardt School became the Manchester District High School.
History: The first class to graduate was the Class of 1925, which consisted of eight students. Original transportation to and from the school was provided by horse-drawn buggy. Prior to 1956 the area had grown and the school was moved to new facilities at 7401 Hull Street Road. That building now houses Manchester Middle School. In 1992 the school moved to its current location at 12601 Bailey Bridge Road. In 1914, three schools consolidated to form Elkhardt School, which had a faculty of four, including the principal. In 1916, transportation was furnished to and from school by a horse-drawn wagon. Elkhardt School became Manchester District High School in 1924. The class of �25� was the first to graduate; it consisted of eight students. In the fall of 1964, the school moved to 7401 Hull Street Road. Manchester High moved to our current home, 12601 Bailey Bridge Road, in the fall of 1992. From its humble beginnings, Manchester has grown into an institution that serves over 2400 students, with a faculty of 175. In addition to its outstanding academic programs, the school now offers over fifty extra-curricular activities for students, including clubs, performing arts groups, publications, and athletic teams. Manchester High School continually evolves as we strive together to uphold its long-standing tradition of excellence.
Mascot: Lancers. Colors: Navy Blue & Orange.
Campus: Manchester shares many of its facilities with next door Bailey Bridge Middle School. It is home to Lloyd Swelnis Stadium, named after a long-time athletic director at the school. The school is also home to Chesterfield County's center for mentally handicapped students. In 2003 closed-circuit cameras were installed in the building and parking lots to monitor student activity. In 2004 a Mass Communications and Spanish-Immersion Specialty Center was constructed as an add-on to the main building.
Students: Manchester High School is a diverse school that has recently lost its trailers due to a decrease in school population.
Activities: Manchester High School sporting teams include baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, field hockey, track and field, cross-country, tennis, wrestling, and golf. Notable clubs include a JROTC program, Foreign Language clubs, a Model UN, choir, marching band, and cheering.
The MHS Gamers club placed 2nd and 3rd at the 2006 Radford University Programming Competition. They hosted GPX 2006 on May 25th 2006.
