    Manheim Central has some great teachers that teach some interesting classes. Having smaller classes was very beneficial, I was able to ask lots of questions and participate in classes. I built good relationships with my teachers and they would recognize me by name even a year after taking their class. Manheim Central provided a laptop to all students, which was great having it to do your school work. Sports is very big at Manheim Central with lots of school spirit, which helps everyone feel like they belong. Two things that I would definitely change are having air conditioning in the entire school. It is difficult to think and very uncomfortable when you are melting from the heat. Also the cafeteria food is horrible, I packed most of the time. It would have been great if they had better quality foods. Overall my experience at Manheim Central was good and I would not mind if children attend in the future.
    I enjoyed my experience at Manheim central high school! I really enjoyed the music classes there and how much the teachers impacted my life. I currently and majoring in music performance ar Messiah College. I had amazing teachers throughout my four years there. I felt included and respected by the teachers. I learned a lot and I’m thankful for the education I received.
