The Manchester Community School Foundation (MCSF) recognizes one student from each grade, each month as student of the month. Senior students of the month are invited to provide more information for a profile in the Mirror and will be recognized at an appreciation dinner held in the MCSF in the spring for the seniors who are chosen as students of the month during the school year. MCSF also offer a $1,000 scholarship for which only senior students of the month are eligible to apply.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
