Jaxon McGuigan, April 2023 Senior student of the month

Jaxon McGuigan, was selected by the MCS Foundation as the senior student of the month for April 2023, and has been a part of the football, basketball, and baseball teams for all four years at Manchester. He has also been a part of the DECA club for four years, (making states three times), Link Crew for two years, and the National Honor Society for two years.

His plans for next year include attending Adrian College to study exercise science and athletic training. He will also be continuing his athletic career as a part of the Adrian Bulldogs’ baseball team.

Jaxon has four older brothers, all of whom have graduated from Manchester. Although he spends most of his time participating in a sport, he also enjoys going to other Manchester sporting events!

Congratulations, Jaxon!

The Manchester Community School Foundation holds an appreciation dinner in the spring for the seniors who are chosen as students of the month during the school year. They also offer a $1,000 scholarship for which only senior students of the month are eligible to apply.
