On Thursday January 11th, over 20 students from MST joined high school students from all over NH at the Civics ad Civility conference in Concord, NH. The event, sponsored by the National Presidential Youth Convention, was aimed at fostering a civil approach to talking about politics and major issues facing our country.
Josselyn Ascencio and John Alade, both high school representatives on the Manchester Board of School Committee, were in several panel discussions during the event.

This year, all NH 20204 graduates are required to complete the FAFSA form, or file a waiver form, in order to receive a diploma. The form, that is available below, is completed to verify that you submitted the FAFSA form, or it allows you to request a waiver from the FAFSA. Please print the form, complete it and have your child turn it in to their counselor. This form is for 2024 graduates only!
It is highly recommended that all seniors, and their families, complete the FAFSA even if you are not yet certain about your plans beyond high school. You may be surprised to find out how much aid you are eligible to receive and that may change your thoughts on your future.
On Thursday February 8th, we will holding our annual open house for any 8th grade student, and their parents/guardians, who is interested in attending MST High School next year.
This evening is also the open house to come and visit our Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs. The event is for any 9th or 10th grade student from any Manchester high school as well as Bedford, Goffstown and Londonderry. It is an opportunity for students to see the classrooms, meet the teachers and ask questions that will help them to decide which 2-year program is best for them.
The open house will be from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. We hope to see many of you there.
The Manchester School District announces closures and delays on WMUR-TV, 95.7 WZID and it sends out direct text messages. If there is a 2-hour delay, MST's day begins at 9:50 AM with all students reporting to Advisory for attendance. Period A high school classes and Block 1 CTE classes are cancelled. Students will report to Period B1/Block 2 at 10:00.
Whenever school is cancelled, we return to the day that was missed. For example, this past Tuesday was supposed to be a Blue day, but we had a snow day. When we returned on Wednesday, we came back to a Blue day and then the rotation continues as normal. By doing this, we never miss too many of the same color day.
