World Languages
Department
Philosophy
It is the philosophy of the World Language Department of
Manchester Central High School that: While allowing for
individual differences among teachers and teaching
approaches,we create an accepting learning atmosphere where
open communication in the target language will allow and
encourage students, over a period of years, to progressively
improve their understanding and acceptance of communication
in languages other than English, to gain an understanding of
other cultures andto positively connect with other
disciplines.We, the faculty, believe that students need to
develop insight into the nature of language and culture, and
to participate in the various multilingual communities at
home, on campus, in the community and around the world.
Faculty Members: Kathleen Brown | Norine Calvano | Alice Delucia |
Ceferino Duana | Brian Duffy | Maureen Frazier | Andre Krause |

National World Language Honor
Society
Central High School is one of many
schools nationally, that seek to recognize their
academically talented language students. Nomination for
membership in this society can be gained by earning three
consecutive semesters of "A" work in their targeted language
as well as earning no less than "C+"grades in all other
subjects.
Special Opportunities
- Our ongoing student exchange program with
the Neustadt Germany is a vital part of the German program.
Each year more and more Central Students take advantage of
the opportunity to experience real everyday German life, and
use their classroom German to communicate with people during
their three week home stay in Germany. This opportunity
enhances the total German experience. Also each September a
group of German students come to Central to learn about
everyday American life as well. We are always looking for
families who are willing to host these families while they
are here for their three week experience.. If you are
interested in having your child participate, wish to host a
German student or merely wish to get more information please
contact me at Cenral HS (603) 624-6363 or by e-mail at
ncalvano@mansd.org
- Each year the opportunity is available
for Central students to take advantage of European travel
opportunities. Both the Spanish and French departments offer
7 to 10 day full service tours which visit several targeted
cities and/or countries. All tours are accompanied by
Central high school teachers and staff. Please note that
these tours are not school sponsored activities, but
individually contracted tours by the teachers leading these
culturally enhancing opportunities. Each year's offerings
are publicized on posters at Central HS. More detailed
information may be obtained by contacting the teacher(s)
responsible for the organization of the tour.
