Manchester School District
Manchester School District is a school district headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire. It is the largest school district in the state, according to the Associated Press. History. Circa 2003 Hooksett contracted with Manchester to educate its high school students. It was intended to last until 2023. In 2011, the town of Auburn, which previously contracted with Manchester School District and sent the majority of its students to Manchester Memorial High School, voted to change its high school to Pinkerton Academy in Derry, with 1,119 in favor and 190 opposing. In 2011 some Auburn students already chose to  go to Pinkerton. By 2013 the relationship between Hooksett and the Manchester district collapsed, with each side alleging the other violated terms of the agreement. In July 2013 Hooksett and the Manchester district agreed to end their contract early. In October 2013 426 high school students who lived in Hooksett attended Manchester school district schools. In 2016 the voters in the town of Candia voted to change their high school from Manchester Central High School to Pinkerton Academy, effective 2018, which meant no longer sending high school students to the Manchester School District. The votes were 1,090 in favor and  113 against. In 2019 John Goldhardt became superintendent. He resigned in February 2022 despite initially planning to do so circa 2024. Demographics. the district has a large number of English as a second language students due to a program of the U.S. State Department placing refugees in Manchester.
