Manheim Township High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is the only high school in the Manheim Township School District.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,863 students and 113.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.41:1. There were 443 students (23.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and a further 36 eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

History

[edit]

The school was built in the 1950s.

In 1978, a $6 million addition added a new library to the building.[3]

In 2006, planning for a construction project commenced which would renovate much of the school's buildings. The $83 million project included a new classroom wing and new gymnasium, and renovated much of the pre-existing 1978 structure. Most of the initial 1950s building was removed or renovated entirely in this process. Renovations were completed in December 2008.[4]

Academic team

[edit]

The school has a Quiz Bowl team, which won a national championship in 2000.[5][6] The team also won a Pennsylvania state championship in 2022.[7]

Arts

[edit]

The school's student publication is called The Township Times.

Technology

[edit]

In 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Education awarded a grant to the school to buy new technology. As part of the grant, the school received several smart boards and a number of student laptops.[8] On September 20, 2017 all students in grades 9-12 were issued an iPad.
