Founded in 2011, New Manchester High School is the most recent addition to the Douglas County School System. Situated in the southeast part of the county, just a stone's throw from the Fulton County border and near Boundary Waters Park, our school offers a vibrant learning environment for students. As a magnet school for fine arts, New Manchester is a haven for artistic expression, boasting ample resources that include a large performance theater and specialized studios for dance, vocal and instrumental music, and visual art.
Our curriculum caters to diverse interests, offering a wide variety of classes, including advanced academics, Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE), and fine arts. Our pride and joy lie in the Fine Arts Magnet Education (FAME) program, offering concentrations in Dance, Drama, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, and Visual Art. FAME is a rigorous program that prepares students for future collegiate or professional opportunities in the arts, and it has garnered national recognition for its excellence.
Our mission at New Manchester High School is to provide meaningful and engaging learning experiences that nurture the character, academic abilities, and talents of all our students, empowering them for success in college and careers. We strive to cultivate a community of lifelong learners, fostering responsible, productive citizens and independent thinkers who excel in the global marketplace. Emphasizing scholarship, talent, respect, opportunity, noble intentions, and gratitude, we are #JaguarSTRONG, committed to inspiring and empowering each individual within our diverse and dynamic school family.
