I enjoy Manchester valley as we have very modern and updated facilities but I wish that he had more fun opportunities like other schools in our area. Also I like that seniors and juniors have options to take dual enrollment classes, AP courses, attend the tech center to learn a trade, attend an internship, or become an apprentice
