Congratulations from the Manchester Township School District to Eagle Scout Award Recipient, Ryan Dunckley!

Manchester Township High School – Athletes of the Month
Manchester Township High School (MTHS) Seniors Madison Pastor and Dante Mortellite have been strong contributors to their teams' successful start.
As a member of the field hockey team, and a 3rd year player, Madison has 6 goals and 2 assists. The Hawks started 3-1 coming into this week. Tonight they play at Holmdel.
Dante has played MTHS Football for 4 years and is a 2-year Captain. His defensive efforts have helped the Hawks get to 2-1. Dante plays on both sides of the ball but really shines at linebacker, where he leads the teams in tackles with 38 in 3 games.
Madison and Dante represent themselves and Manchester Township High School well as students and teammates. We’re lucky to have them, in our Hawk colors!
