History
The school was originally built in the 1950s with an addition in 1978. Renovations have been done, as of December 2008.
Renovation
In 2006 a controversial construction project commenced, extending the newer air-conditioned 1978 side of the building. The project includes a new classroom wing, new gymnasium, fields between the new classroom wing and gymnasium, a new data room, industrial art shops, a cafeteria addition and renovation, the demolition of the wrestling and industrial art shops, a renovation of the majority of the 1978 building, library, and the fields near Oregon Road, an auditorium, the demolition and removal of the 1950s building, construction of a connecting link to replace the 1950s building, technology education and 2 existing gyms, and demolition of existing electric room, pool and locker rooms, shuffleboard hall, convocation hall, nursing and guidance areas, music and stage support, partial tennis court demolition and modification, and Oregon and Valley Road improvements to occur during the summer months while school is in recess.
Technology
In 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Education awarded a grant to the High School to buy new technology. The grant was part of Governor Ed Rendell's Classrooms for the Future Program, a $20 million program, which was announced by the governor on September 20, 2006. As part of the grant, the school received several SMART Boards manufactured by Polyvision and Webster Software, as well as several hundred MacBook and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops.
In addition, the school has over 500 desktop and laptop workstations running Windows XP Professional and Mac OS X.
Music and Theater
Manheim Township houses a strong music program. In April 2008, the school's band, orchestra, and chorus traveled to Boston to participate in the Heritage Festival. All three groups received awards for their performances. Combined, they received the Festival Sweepstakes Award for having the highest total score of all schools participating.
