At Manara, we've launched a heartwarming tradition called Senior Sunrise. This special event gives our seniors the opportunity to watch the sunrise on their final high school year, marking the beginning of an incredible journey. During this serene moment, they set personal goals and write heartfelt letters to their future selves, which they will open at the end of the school year. We are eagerly anticipating an unforgettable senior year filled with growth, achievement, and cherished memories.
Welcome to Our Learning Community! We're thrilled to have you back and can't wait to see the amazing things we'll accomplish together. Let's make this school year the best one yet!
