Principal Joseph Ercolani

Principal's Message
 
 
Dear Falcon Family,
 
It is my honor to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year and my second year serving as Principal of Manchester Regional High School. Last year, we took important steps forward together strengthening academic programs, celebrating student achievements, and reinforcing the values that make MRHS such a special place. I am deeply grateful for the support of our families, the dedication of our staff, and the enthusiasm of our students who make this community thrive.
 
As we begin a new year, our focus remains clear: to provide a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment where all students can reach their fullest potential. At MRHS, we take pride in honoring our traditions while embracing opportunities for innovation that prepare our students for success in college, careers, and life.
 
This year, we will continue to build on our strengths expanding learning opportunities, promoting student engagement, and fostering school pride. Whether through academics, athletics, the arts, or leadership, we encourage every student to find their place and contribute to our school community.
 
I look forward to working together with students, families, and staff to make the 2025–2026 school year one filled with growth, achievement, and Falcon pride. 
 
Once A Falcon, Always A Falcon!
 
Sincerely,
 
Joe Ercolani
Principal
