Welcome
Greetings Mustang Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Principal of Manor High School and to welcome all of our students back on August 12, 2025.
As we begin the new school year, I want to provide some clarity around this year’s academic programming. Manor High School remains fully committed to providing robust academic opportunities for all students. We have not removed any programs; instead, we have made thoughtful changes to improve access and reduce student travel between campuses.
To minimize the number of students shuttling between locations during the school day, we’ve adjusted schedules so that staff will travel between campuses when necessary, rather than students. While a small number of students will still require transportation, the total number has decreased significantly.
Although the locations of some programs have changed, their rigor, quality, and availability remain the same. Here's how the structure will look for this year:
All 9th-grade students — including those in the Early College Program, Advanced Academics, and CTE programs — will be housed at the 9th Grade Center (formerly Manor High School) located at 12700 Gregg Manor Road.
All 10th–12th grade students, including those in the same programs, will be housed at the Manor High School Complex (formerly Manor Senior High and Manor Early College) located at 14832 FM 973.
We recognize that transitions can come with challenges. Please know that my team and I are here to support you and welcome your questions, concerns, and celebrations as we embark on this journey together.
We look forward to seeing you and working together to make this a successful year for all Mustangs.
