McAullife Manual opened its doors in 2016. It is co-located on the third floor of Manual High School. Manual High School’s Principal Chris DeRemer and McAuliffe Manual’s Principal Doug Clinkscales share a commitment to collaborative leadership and continuity of mission and vision between the two schools.

• Students interested in science careers will benefit from opportunities in the Med School at Manual program

• McAuliffe Manual eighth graders have a guaranteed spot at Manual and priority admission into the MedSchool at Manual

• Athletes have access to high school-level coaching and high-quality facilities such as turf fields, a track, a swimming pool, the Thunderdome, a weight room and a wrestling room

• Visual and performing artists have access to multiple art, music, and dance rooms, in addition to a 1,000 seat auditorium
