National Recognition
Penn Manor and Manor Middle school have participated in Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) since 2003. TARC is a national rocketry contest for grades 7-12. The school has reached the national finals every year and won the national championship in 2004 with a team composed of Cam Aumet, Bob O'Connor, and Benjamin Raush. The Penn Manor Rocket teams have been recognized as one of the best TARC programs in the country. In 2010, Penn Manor's TARC team won first place in the nation. The team members were Brendan Stoeckl, Jordan Franssen, Nate Bernhardt, and Tyler Funk. In addition to winning impressive awards, the team traveled to London to compete against the national champions from the U.K. and France in an international rocketry competition at the Farnborough air show. On July 23, 2010 the team defeated the U.K. and France to bring the international title to the United States to the first time in the competition's history. In addition to the TARC, Penn Manor High School's Technology Student Association (TSA) Chapter has placed 1st in the nation in events. In June 2006, Josh Dyer, William Killian, and Mark Peifer placed 2nd in the System Control Technology event.
Penn Manor's website initiatives and technology programs were selected by Macromedia/Adobe Software for a case study in 2005.
