'''Manchester High School''', located in [[Wikipedia:Midlothian, Virginia|Midlothian, Virginia]], was attended by [[Chris]] from [[1996]] to [[2000]] (ninth grade to twelfth grade). Chris portrays this period as among the happiest in his life.<ref>[[:Image:0311-CWCNote7.jpg|DVD]], note 7</ref> Chris proudly slept through much of his [[Wikipedia:Secondary education in the United States#High_school_.28grades_9_through_12.29|high school]] life.<ref>[[A Week With Christian Chandler]]</ref>
 
Among Chris's classes were the usual subjects, two years of [[Spanish]],<ref>[[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares#Over the Years|Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares]], page 8</ref> [[Dating education|Sex Ed]], "Coping Skills" and a lot of [[art]] classes. According to Chris, he achieved an ''Honor Roll Grade Streak ALL THE WAY THROUGH M.H.S.''<ref name="teen">[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Teenage Years]]</ref> However, according to the video [[Song of Christian]], he failed [[English]] class during his sophomore year of high school.
 
Chris is very proud of the fact that he was mainstreamed throughout high school, even though, in the extended slideshow, the captions under the majority of his teachers' names say "special education". This implies that Chris was mainstreamed to the extent that he attended the same school as his typically functioning peers, but nothing more than that. He also rode on the "freakin' Handicapped, Special-Ed bus", an experience which haunts him to this day.<ref>[[Jackie Chat 9]]</ref>
 
Chris was a [[Wikipedia:Water boy|water boy]] (and a "manager", [[Chris and reality|according to him]]) for the Manchester High Lancers [[Bionic|basketball]] team, along with [[Joseph Herring]]. He got a certificate and an embroidery "M" for this work.<ref name="teen" />

==Social life==

Most of Chris's friends were [[gal-pal]]s, not [[Asperchu|joy-boys]]. He had classes and ate lunch with them every other day (the high school has alternating "odd" and "even" days). There were immature boys on the school bus, which he dreaded. Chris's purported friends:
* [[Kellie Andes]]
* [[Tiffany Gowen]]
* Sarah B.<ref>[[:Image:0310-CWCNote6.jpg|DVD]], note 6; [[A Week With Christian Chandler]], pages 9 and 13</ref>
* Miranda, partner in Science class<ref>[[:Image:0310-CWCNote6.jpg|DVD]], note 6; [[A Week With Christian Chandler]], page 14</ref>

==Go Lancers!==
 
Chris' servitude to the basketball team, probably the only meaningful interaction he had with other males throughout his entire adolescence, remains a cherished memory. So much so, that he continues to obsess over it ten years after graduating!
 
A few references were slipped into the comic. In [[Sonichu_7|''Sonichu'' #7]] Manchester High was featured heavily. It begins with [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] hanging around his old school [[Pedofork|without being there on any official business.]] [[Magi-Chan]] then brings Chris and [[Sonichu]] back in time to [[1996#1996|1996,]] when Chris was a student. In [[Sonichu_9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Megagi La Skunk]] was depicted wearing a Lancers cheerleading outfit.
 
In [[August 2010]], Chris made a handful of characters and a vehicle in ''[[ModNation Racers]]'' to commemorate his time with the basketball team. The Manchester High ''ModNation'' collection includes the team bus, two of the players, a [[Laura Beth Dorazio|cheerleader]], and Chris himself at age 14, looking as if he's afraid of being jumped by something just behind him.

==The Bus==
 
At age 15, Chris was "demoted" from the regular school bus to the Special Ed bus. Out of all the weird, embarrassing details of his life that he has no problem discussing, this is one experience that he has rarely spoken about. It's clear that Chris was scarred by this experience of being forced to spend time with the seriously mentally handicapped, or "slow-in-the-mind retards" as he calls them.
 
Chris switched to the Bus of Doom after an confrontation with another student on the Normal Bus. Much like every other time Chris claims to have been physically assaulted, it is unclear exactly what happened. He has only told the story twice<ref>[[Jackie Chat 9]]</ref><ref>[[Kacey Call 9]]</ref>; in one version it sounds like Chris started a fight because he wanted to get off the bus first, and in the other version it sounds like a [[niggo]] punched him for no reason. Whatever happened, Chris sites this incident as the reason for his exclusion from Gen Pop.
 
==The Seinor Prom==
 
Chris took his [[Barbara|mom]] to the seinor [sic] prom. [[Gal-pal]] [[Tiffany]] felt sorry for him, and so she asked him to dance, which they did so for what seemed like hours to Chris. Chris hopes to re-enact this historic moment at an upcoming high school reunion.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Seinor Prom]]</ref> That is assuming there aren't security guards there for the express purpose of keeping him out.

==Graduation==
 
[[Image:0558-ChrisChanOfY2KClass.jpg|thumb|Chris actually looking kinda classy, in his graduation gown. The white thing around his neck generally indicates [[honor roll]].]]
 
For Chris, graduation was an emotional experience. In his own words:<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Graduation]]</ref>
 
{{quotebox|I ONLY got recognized for my Grades with a Star Pin, yet they had MORE FANCIER AWARDS for more important qualities. I should have been Highly Recognized for [[Chris and art|my ARTISTIC TALENTS]] I showed in my Many Art Classes for the Award Ceremonies before Graduation Day. I felt crestfallen greatly from not getting recognized for [[Chris and his Ego|any of my Talents]]. I EXCELLED IN MATH TOO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
 
I had gotten over the Award Ceremony on the Graduation Day, but to add Lemon Juice to an open wound, it was a Dark and Rainy Day that Day, and they handed out MORE TALENTED AWARDS right before handing out any diplomas. When I went up there to get mine, I was feeling depressed, upset, crestfallen and ticked off. When the award was handed to me, I took it without looking anyone in the eye, and I did not shake anyone's hands. I just walked back to my seat in the Graduating Crowd. Then soon after, I just walked the wrong way up the center aisle, found an isolated table and cried myself out. [[Barbara|My mother]] found me later and comforted me; [[Bob|my father]] was ashamed of the way I acted, and he would later still be angry at recalling the moment. [[Tiffany]] also found me and gave me a caring moment of condolences back there. I gave her a plush Psyduck as a graduating gift beforehand.

In another retelling, Chris reveals more straight anger:<ref>DVD, graduation notes [[:Image:0566-GraduationNote1.jpg|1]] and [[:Image:0567-GraduationNote2.jpg|2]]</ref>
 
{{quotebox|
So while I sit there and feel happy for my friends who got something, I was so %$@# JEALOUS. I was a High-Functioning Autistic Boy who came WAAAAAAAAAY BEYOND OUT OF HIS SOCIAL SHELL, only to get ZILCH, NADA, ZIP; A BIG FAT ZERO! I felt so Devistated and Out Of Sync :'(
 
[...]
 
I ended up doing what I did when I went up there to accept the diploma; NO HANDSHAKE, TEARS, AND RUNNING AWAY TO HIDE. They don't even have any pictures of that in the Y2K Yearbook; the caption should have read, "Student Christian Chandler is Depressed and Sad for some reasons. His response is tears and fright."
 
Even now as I type this, I am still *&$%^#@ Angry that I didn't get anything for the things I've poured my heart, soul and hand-work into, nor emerged as a friend to quite a few, nor developing a positive social behavior similar to [[Red Skelton]].
}}
 
The evil [[Count Graduon]]'s name was derived from Chris's feelings about his graduation.<ref>[[Jackie Chat 7]]</ref>
 
==Lingering attachments==
Generally speaking, Chris's memories of high school still hold great significance for him. This is unsurprising, given that high school was the last time he regularly got out and about in a social environment that seems to have at least partially accepted and tolerated him, though this was most likely because snapping at an [[autistic]] child in a public school can get you suspended.
 
Chris has mentioned that he frequently [[dreams]] of his days in high school, recalling his teenage years in a nostalgic tone. A [[100 2178|May 2010 YouTube video]] features a flood of wistful reminiscing from Chris, as he laments having to move away from the suburb where he went to high school: "I had so many friends over there, in high school. And I was just sad to leave, when I, after I graduated." A good half a dozen of the women he recalled in his archive of "[[Gal-Pals and Past Sweethearts (CWCipedia page)|gal-pals and past sweethearts]]" (and most of the ones who weren't trolls) were girls he knew in high school.
 
There's also the matter of the aforementioned Count Graduon, where Chris may have created an embodiment of the concept of leaving high school to be the dominant villain of the entire Sonichu saga.
 
==Reunion plans==
{{quote|I know it was Promised, because at the end of the slideshow they had at the Prom, it had a HUGE Message stating, "See You at the Reunion in Ten Year." I am no longer going to take the insubordination and belaboring-to-no-promise-keeping sitting down anymore.|Chris on his "Promised Reunion"<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 9]]</ref>}}
 
In his "Gal-Pals and Past Sweethearts" page from the [[CWCipedia]], Chris notes that he looks forward to attending his class reunion. He doesn't know exactly when this will take place, and made no effort to find out about it until mid-2010, as he assumed somebody from the school would have contacted him with directions by then.
 
On 27 [[August 2010]], Chris uploaded a [[EXCLUSIVE Manchester High School 2000 Reunion Required NOW|video address]] to [[YouTube]], wherein he reveals that, up to that point, he hadn't heard anything about a coming reunion.  He decided to organize one himself, only to give up relatively quickly.  In [[November 2010]], there may have been a class reunion, but either way, Chris did not attend.
