Manchester Proud Manchester Proud is a partnership between the citizens of Manchester and the local business community to advocate for improving Manchester City Schools. The group started as “an ad-hoc gathering of local business and education leaders, wanting to better understand Manchester’s public schools and how we might partner with others to create opportunities for their improvement. Today, Manchester Proud has become a community movement, united by our pride in Manchester and our shared commitment to the success of every student, and therefore, our entire community.” (Source: Manchesterproud.org) This organization understands and advocates that there is a direct link between education, quality of life, community health, and a thriving business climate in the City of Manchester.
