Welcome

The Manual High School and its Alumni have a rich legacy spanning over a century. Established in 1909 as Manual Training High School, it later moved to its current location on 811 South Griswold after 54 years. In 2022, the Manual High School Alumni Student Recognition Association (MASRA) was formed by concerned alumni. MASRA aims to support excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts, believing that great schools build great citizens and communities. MASRA supports current Manual High School students, feeder schools, and athletes by providing resources such as a new weight room, improving math and reading scores, and increasing participation in fine arts programs. They offer summer scholarships for band and visual arts camps. Donations to MASRA's General Fund are crucial for their daily operations.
