The 1987-88 school year was a year of differences. A new principal, vice principal, and several new teachers filled empty positions. For the first time students had to make up days missed because of fog and snow. Freshmen and Juniors had to take ISTEP tests to measure their knowledge and to decide who would be going to summer school. The boys’ basketball team made it to regionals and was narrowly defeated in overtime. Manchester High School was evaluated by the North Central Associaton, so for several days strangers wandered the halls and listened in on classes.
