Manchester High School, located in Midlothian, Virginia, was where Chris finished his compulsory education from 1996 to 2000 (9th Grade to 12th Grade). Chris portrays this period as among the happiest in his life.[1] Chris proudly slept through much of his high school life.
Among Chris's classes were the usual subjects, 2 years of Spanish,[2] 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.[3] However, according to the video Song of Christian, he failed English class during his sophomore year of high school.
Chris was the water boy for the basketball team along with Joseph Herring. He got a certificate and an embroidery "M" for this work.[3] His experiences there mirrored the first part of this movie.
Accomplishments
- 10th Grade
- F in English Class
- 12th Grade
- September: Praise from his English teacher for the short story How the Pokémon came into Our Poke Balls
- March: CD cover for Christian's Favorite Hits!
- April: Naps in class for the self-documentary A Week With Christian Chandler
Social life
Most of Chris's friends were gal pals, not boy toys. He has classes and eats lunch with them every other day (the high school has alternating "odd" and "even" days). There are immature boys on the schoolbus, which he dreads. Chris's purported friends:
- Kellie Andes
- Tiffany Gowen
- Sarah B.[4]
- Miranda, partner in Science class[5]
- Molly, happy and giggly[6]
- Joseph Herring
- Brian, boyfriend of Sarah[7]
The Seinor Prom
Chris took his mom to the seinor [sic] prom. Gal pal Tiffany felt sorry for him, and so asked him to dance, which seemed like hours to Chris. Chris hopes to re-enact this historic moment at an upcoming high school reunion.[8] That is assuming there aren't security guards there for the express purpose of keeping him out.

Don't go graping anyone tonight, Chris... I'm assburgin'
Dat ass. Seriously, Chris was probably more interested in the food than the lovely young lady.
Chris is feeling all by his lonesome at this point
Some random people at prom, giving what would be considered a rude gesture in some countries.
Tiffany to the rescue
Graduation
For Chris, graduation was an emotional experience. In his own words:[9]
| 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 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 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. My mother found me later and comforted me; 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:[10]
|
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. |
It is quite likely that the evil Count Graduon's name was derived from Chris's feelings about his graduation.

Tungsten. That is all.
