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.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or recognition:
“All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can’t invent a design. You recognise it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
