Manchester Local Schools

Our Vision

"The Manchester Local School District is dedicated to providing students sound educational opportunities supported by a community inspired to help them reach their potential."

Educational Philosophy

All Children Can Learn.
The instructional program must be challenging and provide appropriate opportunities for all students.
Technology is an integral part of an instructional program.
School employees are accountable for the work they do and for the things over which they have control.
Our schools must provide a caring, friendly and safe climate for learning.
Our schools are an integral part of and belong to our community.
Public education is vital to community development and well-being.
Our school facilities and equipment must be able to support quality education.
High expectations of individual behavior and achievement will encourage each student and District employee to realize his/her potential.
Learning brings joy and is a lifetime pursuit for students and employees.
The educational needs of our students will be our highest priority.
The physical and emotional health, safety and welfare of our students will not be jeopardized.
We will not allow the lack of funds to impede the pursuit of quality education.
We will communicate openly, honestly and in a timely manner to foster trust and understanding.
No significant change in operation will be implemented unless mandated by law without student, employee, and community involvement in the planning process.
In order to ensure efficient and effective use of resources and maximum educational value, we will not institute or continue programs without cost/benefit analysis.
