Testimonials

"When I told all my friends from my old school that I was going to be attending Manual the following semester of my sophomore year, they basically laughed in my face and said it was bad academically, and the students here were ghetto BLAH BLAH BLAH. And I said how do you know... you haven't even been there to know? You haven't even gave it a shot. Manual has given me opportunities and opened doors for me that I never would have even dreamed possible at another school. I'm getting damn near a full ride scholarship to Regis, I'm concurrently enrolled in a college down the street (CCD), already getting a head start on my math credits. I was taking advanced placement courses as a junior and now currently as a senior. Manual's administration has only wanted the best for us students and I can finally see that being true." ~Taonna, Class of 2019
